:::::::: I noticed that the last change introduced a "cross product" symbol/glyph, but it does not render correctly (under Firefox Aurora or MS Internet Explorer).   This has to do with the 3rd (and last example) in the task's preamble.   -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:42, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 
:::::::::: You could use the &nbsp; &nbsp; &amp;<nowiki>times;</nowiki> &nbsp; &nbsp; symbol, it's not quite a large at the cross-product glyph, but it's more accurate. &nbsp; There is a similar character ⨯ at U+2A2F, but this is not always considered identical to U+00D7, as U+2A2F is intended to ''explicitly'' denote the [[cross product]] of two vectors (last sentence as quoted in full from Wiki: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_sign Multiplication sign]). &nbsp; I like the expression (for the exponentiation) &nbsp; &nbsp; 100<sup>2000</sup> &nbsp; &nbsp; or &nbsp; &nbsp; 100<sup>2,000</sup> &nbsp; &nbsp; better though. &nbsp; &nbsp; I.E.: &nbsp; X=2&times;100<sup>2,000</sup> &nbsp; &nbsp; or, for ease of reading: &nbsp; &nbsp; <big> X=2&times;100<sup>2,000</sup> </big> &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:30, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
