I agree that a purely stylistic edit doesn't make sense. I edited because of the misplaced parentheses, and thought I'd just fix the $\bigwedge$'s while I was in there. (I know that $\Lambda$ isn't uncommon, but I think that it's semantically wrong, like writing $<x, y>$ instead of $\langle x, y\rangle$.) | |

Removed some errant parentheses, and changed \Lambda -> \bigwedge
