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?

Being strict, that is, using the alphabet of symbols of
Predicate Calculus:
Variables: e,d,...
Individual constants: 0,...
Predicates: G(x): " x greater than 0 ",...
Well formed formulas: P,...
Connectives: ~, ->
Universal quantifier: A
Punctuation: ( , ), ,
Then, "For all epsilon greater than zero, there exists a
delta greater than zero such that P" could be written:
((Ae)G(e)) -> (~((Ad)(~(G(d) -> P))))
