There is a conflict of use for one mathematical symbol in my technical document that is defining two different quantities.
Due to time constraint I can not edit the document now. What are the possible ways to let the reader of my document know that depending on the context that symbol be understood accordingly.
I have a List of Symbols in my document too. Is it O.K to mention this conflict there? Or any other recommendations please.
I personally would suggest using d as the dimension of the vector as it's very frequently used in theory books and shouldn't "shock" the Physics student/professor (i guees your target?) reading ur article. Moreover in any books i read there usually is a "legenda" at the end describing all symbol's used meaning (at least in Math's ones) I hope it helps! :)
