Writing a mathematical paper is both an act of recording mathematical content and a means of communication of one's work. In contrast with other types of writing, the style of math papers is incredibly rigid and resistant to even modest innovation. As a result, both goals suffer, sometimes immeasurably. The clarity suffers the most, which…
A. Chéritat. (2014)cite arxiv:1410.4417Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures. This version has the following changes: Added computer generated images of the key positions S1 and S2.
