How would you punctuate this?
Ae>0Ed>0P(x,e,d)
"For all epsilon greater than zero, there exists a delta greater than
zero such that proposition."
Would the proper punctuation be the insertion of colons:
Ae>0:Ed>0:P(x,e,d)
Would it be grouping the quantifiers:
(Ae>0)(Ed>0)P(x,e,d)
Is there a recommended/preferred approach?
Your method of writing should be readable and/or properly defined
and especially whe using a crippled character repertoire
as here in a newsgroup post, the colon method seems to be widely
preferred.
In doubt one might fall back to unrestricted quantifiers and extensive
use of parentheses, but readability would suffer a lot:
Ae(e>0 -> Ed(d>0 & P(x,e,d)))
