Writing equations in line with text
I'm not sure if this belongs on math.stackexchange, but If I were to write:
We know a > b, c > d, e > f, and f>g.
without the extra space,
We know a > b, c > d, e > f, and f > g
it becomes confusing as whether I mean a is greater than b and c which are both greater than d and e which are both greater than f. However I'm told it's bad to have additional space.
Solution 1:
Use parentheses to clearly convey your message.
We know (a > b), (c > d), (e > f), and (f > g).
We know (a > b, c > d, e > f), and (f > g).
Both of those are valid interpretations with different meanings, but you can clarify which is meant through parentheses.
