Comment on Mathematical Notation, Past and Future (2000)parent

Comments

What about ker, coker, im, hom, end, aut, lim, colim, Set, Top, Man, Mat, Vect, GL, SL, SO, Lie, Gr, Tor, Ext, tr, Rep, char, rank, Isom, ann, hull, Diff, ...? I'm just copying multiletter names out of my preamble.tex file here.

I get that these aren't variables, but it's really not so uncommon outside of trigonometry to have multi-letter names for things that appear in equations.
