| Sep 10, 2017 at 22:13 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | I have probably already mentioned somewhere on this site Hugh Montgomery's thought-experiment about writing a paper where, whenever you need a new symbol, you just use the first letter of the alphabet that you haven't used yet. "The Riemann $a$-function, defined by $a(b)=\sum_cc^{-b},\dots$". He concluded such a paper would be unreadable. | |
