So I'm reviewing my old college textbooks, and I keep getting annoyed by expressions like this:
(variable)=(equation) (less than or equal to) (constant) That is, if if the equation yields a value greater than the constant, you're supposed to use the constant instead of the value from the equation. PNQ: Why can't the books simply use (variable)=min (equation, constant) Isn't this an easier way and less confusing?
