| Jul 19, 2010 at 18:12 | comment | added | Dan Piponi | The Matlab notation was heavily influenced by APL. APL was intended originally as a compact notation for doing mathematics. As a result, for the kinds of operations operations you appear to be talking about, the usual mathematical notation is typically going to be longer than the Matlab code. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_%28programming_language%29) But bear in mind, you're free to write $y=1/x$ to mean $y_k=1/x_k$ in a proof, as long as you state your intentions clearly and unambiguously. | |
