Missing multiplication symbol
From Why start at x, y, z
It's common to omit a multiplication symbol:
\(ab = a \times b\)
But sometimes it's not as clear:
Does \( a(b+1) = a \times (b+1)\), or is \(a\) a function?
When writing a division on one line, does an implied multiplication bind more tightly than an explicit one?[1]
Does \(a/bc = a/(bc)\) or \((a/b)c\)?
