Can someone explain why Symbolize and Notation are incompatible?
For example: I want to use Notation so that terms like
E_subcript_x[x,y,z] display as E_subcript_x only. Using Notation as follows
Notations[E_subscript_x <---E_subscript_x[x,y,z]] I can
accomplish this.
However, suppose that I also want to define things like E =
{E_subcript_x[x,y,z],E_subcript_y[x,y,z],E_subcript_z[x,y,z]} then I have to
use
Symbolize[E_]. What happens then, however, is that the Notations
definition I made up no longer works, i.e. the output becomes
E_subscript_x[x,y,z] for example instead of E_subscript_x.
Why are the 2 incompatible? Or am I doing something wrong? I've
also upgraded to the most recent Notations Utility.
My basic objective is to make Mathematica input and output as close
to the way I would write it with pencil and paper and still leave operations
like
Function intact.
Also, is 4.01 a free upgrade because of software fixes or is it
something I have to purchase? (I already have 4.0)
