          How many sentences have to say you’re full of shit before you’re full of shit?

          Maths textbooks do all kinds of things you insist aren’t real. None of them have your back. The problem is you.

            Chapters. You’re ignoring the whole rest of the chapter 🙄

            Nope. The problem is you not reading the whole chapter 🙄

              The rest of the chapter also acts like (a+b)y is acceptable notation for factorization, which is why it appears in - for example - those two sentences concisely demonstrating you’re full of shit.

              Just like all the books that say a*b and a(b) and ab are the same thing.

                Which it isn’t in modern textbooks. You know this is a 1965 textbook, right? No, you probably don’t, given you only quoted 2 sentences

                those two sentences concisely demonstrating you’re full of shit

                Nope. The whole rest of the chapter proves you are full of shit, hence why you’ve refused to read any more 🙄

                It doesn’t. Once you read some more you’ll find that axb is explicitly excluded from the list of Product notations
