Subject: Re: [office] OpenFormula definitions for ODF 1.4
Hi,
Mathematical definitions are surprisingly inconsistent. For
example all of matrix theory comes in two presentation (one being
the transpose of the other). From a mathematical point of view it
does not matter if we mean left or right eigenvectors when we say
eigenvectors but from a spreadsheet point of view it is essential
which ones we are talking about.

Greetings, The comment by Francis Cave today about not repeating definitions made elsewhere prompted me to think about our replication of common mathematical definitions in OpenFormula. It maybe that too much has been invested in them to change now but for the future, should we consider referencing a known source of formulas for formal definition? ISO defines symbols for math, https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:80000:-2:en, all hidden from the public of course, functions anyone? I don't know of any. Hope everyone is at the start of a great day! Patrick
