Pronunciation of powers












1















When you have powers of 10, the base is 10, so when the exponent is 2 you should not say power of 2. I believe "power of" refer to the base. no to the exponent.

          I pronounce 3^4 as “three to the fourth power”



          You can say “base to the nth power” or “base to the power of n”



          It’s important to have the whole sentence to determine if it makes mathematical sense.

                    A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                    Image
                    0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
