== Notes == {{Notelist|refs= <ref group="lower-alpha" name="NB1">For example, the third edition of ''Mechanics'' by [[Landau and Lifshitz (book)|Landau and Lifshitz]] contains expressions such as ''hP''<sub>''z''</sub>/2{{pi}} (p. 22), and the first volume of the ''[[Feynman Lectures]]'' contains expressions such as 1/2{{sqrt|''N''}} [https://feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_06.html (p. 6β7)]. In both books, these expressions are written with the convention that the [[Slash (punctuation)|solidus]] is evaluated last.</ref> <ref group="lower-alpha" name="NB2">Some authors deliberately avoid any omission of parentheses with functions even in the case of single numerical variable or constant arguments (i.e. {{citeref|Oldham|Myland|Spanier|2009|Oldham in ''Atlas''|style=plain}}), whereas other authors (like {{citeref|Olver|Lozier|Boisvert|Clark|2010|NIST|style=plain}}) apply this notational simplification only conditionally in conjunction with specific multi-character function names (like <code>sin</code>), but don't use it with generic function names (like <code>''f''</code>).</ref> <ref group="lower-alpha" name="NB3">To avoid any ambiguity, this notational simplification for [[monomial]]s is deliberately avoided in works such as {{citeref|Oldham|Myland|Spanier|2009|Oldham's ''Atlas of Functions''|style=plain}} or the {{citeref|Olver|Lozier|Boisvert|Clark|2010|''NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions''|style=plain}}.</ref> }} <!-- END NOTELIST -->
