Abstract

At times we the math instructors in a classroom are not careful enough to use proper Mathematical wording, e.g. sin² + cos² = 1 without any reference to the angle. Improper Mathematical wording can be confusing to a student at any level, especially at high school and/or at a college freshman or sophomore level. It may hinder the students’ progress in the present and the subsequent math courses.
