How do I describe the mathematical signs like "≥" or "≤"?
I have seen people describe "≤" in an article like "XXX is less than or equal to...",
but can I use these kind of mathematical signs directly in an paper, like "XXX is ≤" instead of that very long sentence??
I hope I've made myself clear.
Please give me some tips~
Thank you in advcance!!
