Appendix B NEMETH DATABASE

This Nemeth database has the conversions for most commonly used mathematics sysmbols. All these conversions

should be used inside the CZ editing mode in the WordPerfect, to be translated exactly.

Please make sure you close the exact translation mode by including $tx[sp] after the Nemeth Code. Use the blank

sheet to write down the symbols you come across that are not in this database, and we will update it every month.

This database is arranged in alphabetical order. For exam ple to find code for you can either check mu, or Greek

Alphabet.

Note: Each column is seperated by two hyphens.

Dont use it to representdivisionDitto mark " ,' Looks like double quoteDivided by : ./ Arithmetic divisionDollar sign $ @s Ex: $3.50 $cz[sp]@s#3.50$tx[sp]Ellipsis ... `"Epsilon .e Greek letter e, lower case.

Upper case.,eEquals sign = .k Leave spaces before and after code. Nospacing when used with a grouping symbol like parenthesis, braces ex=(2) is [sp].k(#2)

Equivalence = @ .1 Combination of equal and greater than signshave base line indicator between them. Ex. >= .1".k

Uppercase is .,kLambda l .l Greek letter l, lowercase,. Uppercase is .,lLess than or equal to < "k:Less than sign < "kLetter sign ; Need to use single letters, so that they are notconfused with contractions. For example single letters like g as in grams, m as inmeters all should have letter indicators. Single letters left in text will be translated byDuxbury, but inside nemeth code, we should nclude letter indicator. Example: A = l is$cz;,a.k#1$tx Lower limit limit %lim Matrices [1 2] @,(#1 #2@,) Alignment isvery important.

Minutes ' 'Mu .m Greek letter m, lowercase. Uppercase .,mMultiplication sign . * For cross sign like x use @*. See cross signcode.Not equal to / /.kNu h .n Greek letter, lowercase. Upper case .,nNumbers # Use this sign, where it seems numbers will beconfused with letters. Avoid using it too much.

Omega w .w Greek letter w, lower case. Uppercase .,w

Overbar xyz "xyz:] For x bar just x: will workParallel || $1 For example a||b is $cz ;a$1b$txPartial derivative d @dPercent Sing % @0 Convert percent to nemeth everywherePeriod . _4 Period inside nemeth braille. Dont leaveperiods inside nemeth unless they are decimal symbols.

Perpendicular to * $pPhi f .f Greek letter f, lower case. Upper case .,f. .@Falso the same

Pi p .p Greek letter p, lower case. Upper case .,pPlus or minus +-Point . . Decimal point, entered as it isPounds #(lbs) .#

Prime ' ' Prime used to represent minutes, feet etc.Psi a .y Greek letter, lower case. Uppercase .,yPunctuation _ To avoid ambiguity between punctuation ingrade 2 and nemeth, there should be a symbol indicator before any symbol whencoming out of nemeth. Ex. $Cz_$tx[sp]

Question mark ? _8Ratio sign : "1 Ratio sign only, dont use it for colon.Ratio sign, double :: "2Rho r .r Greek letter r, lower case. Upper case .,rSeconds " '' Two single quotes to represent minutes, notdouble quote.

Semi colon ; _2Sigma s .s Greek letter s, lowercase. Upper case .,s.

Since @/ Inverted therefore symbol.Slash / _/Square roots V >xx] Ex. Square root of 16 is >#16]Star * $s Not a multiplication symbolSubscripts ; Baseline indicator " is not needed when theres a space after script. For ex. 2cr is #2;cr[sp] also subscript indicator is not when thesubscript is entirely a number. For example H2O but not ,h;2",0

Subscript with subscript ;; The second level subscript should berepresented by two semicolons.

Summation b ".,s%n.k1>50 Just sigma is .s. For the summation rangeneed to use % sign and then as shown in the code.

Superscripts ^ Baseline indicator " is not needed when thereis a space after the superscript. For example x2[sp] is x^2[sp] and x2 + y2 is x^2"+y^2Tau t .t Greek letter t, lowercase. Upper case is .,tThere exist @=Therefore : ,*Theta j .? Greek letter, lower case. Upper case .,?Times x @* When you need times instead ofmultiplication symbol use @* Dont use spaces.

Union sign v .+Uppercase , For chemical formulae use uppercase symbolbefore each letter. For example HCN is ,h,c,n but not ,,hcn.
