[request] rename algebraic mode to linear algebraic or plainText
sorry for my bad English

[SHIFT] [Home/Settings] Entry: TextBook/Algebraic -> TextBook/Linear Algebraic

MATHEMATICS STANDARD NOTATION is the notation of Mathematical expressions shown in textbooks of mathematical or scientific articles

In computer languages it is known as:
Textbook, 2-D Math Notation, Math Print Pretty, Math Print or only Pretty Print:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prettyprint

Microsoft word 2016 (equation editor) calls Professional Notation

LINEAR MATHEMATICS NOTATION created for early computer languages that could not edit bidimensional mathematical expressions as ∛-8. for example (3 NTHROOT -8) is the linear infix notation of ∛-8 or written in notation functional prefix is NTHROOT(3, -8)

In computer languages it is known as:
Math Plain Text
1-D Math Notation
I suggest better LINEAR ALGEBRAIC, since only ALGEBRAIC denotes writing that we all learn from school, which is not linear

Another name
Linear Mathematical expressions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_(mathematics)

2: I would also like to see the linear notation in history, this increases the output speed of response, since it is easier to print linear notation that two-dimensional (text book)

That option is available on page 2 of Home Settings, 3rd line. Just turn off "Textbook Display", and algebraic expressions in history will be displayed in linear style.

OK Thanks, but I think this option should be next, to ENTRY MODE

Idea

anyone knows any link that mentions about linear notation for computer languages?

I only found links for mathematics standard notation for textbooks

RE: [request] rename algebraic mode to linear algebraic
Normally (and historically) the pocket calculator input methods are defined as:

-CHN chain operation system: it does not recognize operation priority
-AOS algebraic operation system: it recognize operation priority
-RPN reverse polish notation
-textbook (pretty print)

So I don't think we have to invent something new and use names that are twice so long as the ones universally used.

imho textbook, algebraic and RPN are the good names for the entry method.

ALGEBRAIC word it is valid but AMBIGOUS ,, you can refer to professional textbook notation or programming language notation for mathematical expressions.
Micro$oft-Word uses the LINEAR and PROFESSIONAL words, see next sceen capture

the ALGEBRAIC word It was created for the first computer languages that could not edit 2D dimensional mathematical expressions, such as nthroot(3,-8) is linear notation of ∛-8, BUT NOW YOU CAN EDIT in PROFESSIONAL notation, hence the term ALGEBRAIC MUST EVOLVE

This is a mathematical expression in linear notation for hp-prime
-(x+y)*5!+abs(-4)+cos(pi)+sin(pi/3+pi)+(3 NTHROOT -8)+(4/3)+logb(1,10)*x^2+floor(pi)+ceiling(pi)
shown on the second screen, and on the first screen is the professional notation or textbook


there unicode characters that show operators or functions with the appearance of textbook as

And I don't care what Micro$oft says!

"mathematica" Wolfram language calls PLAINTEXT INPUT/OUTPUT

[Image: linearVersusStandardMathematicsAlgebraic...mage02.png]

plaintext is a good replacement for the ambiguous an old "Algebraic" term

Different software will refer to the same concept using different terms. I find myself not understanding why any particular software should be considered to have a monopoly on what terms to use.
