I like using Japanese kana in my homework. I'm learning the language, and it helps with calming down after the rage of "what the hell is this thing, that doesn't make any sense???"

As a result, i have to prove that the set ま is open.

I like that! I should start using Kana or cursive Cyrillic in my derivations to mess with the professors

Or fancy letters, like the L in a Laplace transformation.

And if that's not enough, you just straight up make up new symbols, like Nabla

Ah yes, because other science fields like linguistics would never just grab random letters and turn them upside down to repurpose them!

There exist a mirroded E

Any upsidedown A in the set of all real characters used in academia would immediately illicit mathematical memories.

Did you mean ALL the upside up A?

Nope, it means "for any" as in no matter which one you choose it will be correct.

I usually used it as "for all", but its looks like "for any" is used too

I sit corrected. It's used as an arbitrary singular value within the proof, so for any always felt more appropriate.

Also a good way to start an essay
