Individual mathematicians often have their own way of pronouncing mathematical expressions
and in many cases there is no generally accepted \correct" pronunciation.
Distinctions made in writing are often not made explicit in speech; thus the sounds fx may
& Z: n, g+ }2 U$ M2 N2 {$ Jbe interpreted as any of: fx, f(x), fx, FX, FX, F&iexcl;&iexcl;X!. The di&reg;erence is usually made clear
; U% z+ N1 h4 }0 Fby the context; it is only when confusion may occur, or where he/she wishes to emphasise
the point, that the mathematician will use the longer forms: f multiplied by x, the function
f of x, f subscript x, line FX, the length of the segment FX, vector FX.
& p- s6 q" S' z3 Z9 WSimilarly, a mathematician is unlikely to make any distinction in speech (except sometimes
a di&reg;erence in intonation or length of pauses) between pairs such as the following:
/ `" G9 z0 g+ I6 o; ^% _x + (y + z) and (x + y) + z
