[seqfan] Re: Fwd: A nice (decimal) property of 78

[David Wilson]

I was thinking more like

    m, n numbers
    x, y, z variables

    sum                     x+y, x+y+z, x+10, 10+13 = 23
    difference            x-y, x-y-z, x-10, 10-13 = -3
    product               xy, xyz, 10x, 10*13 = (10)(13) = 130 
            Avoid x.y
    real quotient        x/y, x/(y+z), x/(yz), 
13x/10                               Be careful with grouping
    integer quotient    x\y, x\(y+x), 100\17 = 5
    floor                    floor(x), [x], [12] = 12, [3.14] = 3, 
[-1.5] = -2 Prefer [x] over floor(x)
    nth prime             p(x) = A000040(x), p_x, p25 = p_25 = p(25) = 97
    prime index         pi(x), pi(11) = 5
    numeral concatenation  x||y; 314||159 = 314159

I could go on, but you get the point. A glossary to define preferred 
usage of symbols in OEIS.
