BTW
If you mean the well-known gas equation, which connects thermodynamic temperatures with pressures and volumes, you should write it like this:
Code: Select all
T sub 2 = T sub 1 cdot {{p sub 2 cdot V sub 2} over {p sub 1 cdot V sub 1}}
or like this (without an explicitly given operator for the ordinary multiplication):
Code: Select all
T sub 2 = T sub 1 {{p sub 2 V sub 2} over {p sub 1 V sub 1}}
By ISO standards the quantity "pressure" is denoted "p" (lower case).
In Mathematics, science and engineering the "large cross" created in
Math with the reserved word
times should only be used for the "outer" (non-scalar) product of matrices (or vectors) where the result again is a matrix or vector.
When in doubt, you should also prefer a clarifying (additional) pair of curly braces to a slightly shorter but possibly ambiguous notation.
