Hi group, it's been a while. Perhaps there has been some discussion of the following but I have missed it. When evaluating, for example, 40(8)^t Mathematica factors both the 40 and the 8 to yield 5 8^(1+t). Notice the space between the 5 and the 8. Although it is clear in this example, given a sufficiently complicated input where what the output should be is not so clear one might mistake the above for 58^(1+t). Has the absence of a multiplication symbol in the output of Mathematica in these instances been a problem for anyone else? Is there anything you can do about it? Thanks, Jonathan Mann mtheory at msn.com
