I'll occasionally write equalities within parentheses or sqrt signs to make my steps more compact.
E.g.:
r=344√79⋅167=169=34√43=√34=√32
I always assumed this was pretty clear, and an acceptable (if unusual) way to use equalities.
However, I was recently told that "you can't take the root of a truth value", which is certainly true.
Is my notation confusing? Does it classify as abuse of notation?
Is the below correct?
r=(79⋅167=169)⟹r=⊤
Answer
Your notation is very non-standard and will be confusing to most people. Many people use curly braces to denote intermediate results:
r=344√79⋅167⏟4√169=34√43=√34=√32
