SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the notation for acute and grave accents as defined in Micheal O. Searcoid's "Elements of Abstract Analysis," specifically in Definition 1.3.4. Participants clarify that acute accents are represented as \$\acute{s}\$ and grave accents as \$\grave{s}\$, with the simplified form \$\acute s\$ being acceptable. This notation is crucial for accurately conveying mathematical symbols in written form.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation and symbols
  • Understanding of LaTeX typesetting for mathematical expressions

Those are the acute and grave accents.
They are written as \$\acute{s}\$ respectively \$\grave{s}\$.
They show up as $\acute s$ and $\grave s$.
We can shorten it to \$\acute s\$ if we want.
