\[\textbf{SOFT QUESTION}\]Is it a bad practice to put a period after writing an equation? For example,\[2 + 2 = 4.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not if you are writing a journal. I use to do it when I wrote proposals and long documents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It seems weird if you are doing simple problems....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would not do it though

Parth (parthkohli):

Doesn't it seem awky when you are solving an equation? Like:\[\begin{align}x + 3 & = 5. \\ x &= 5 - 3. \\ x &= 2. \end{align}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not realy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks weird, but if you like to write it like that, then that's fine.

Parth (parthkohli):

Okay, thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal somebody

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not necessary, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just asking lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually it looks bad when you put it that way. It looks like decimal points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it still the same, though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think it makes a difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess it's not a big deal but personally I'm reminded of the idea that writing unnecessary things in math is a big no no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya lol me too
