English term

... lead for r < k < r + Q to

English Science Computers: Systems, Networks informatics
Complete phrase:

"Substitution of the product form (4.2.3.23) in the equations (4.2.3.21) and (4.2.3.22) and cancellation of (k) lead for r < k < r + Q to
g(x; y)(1(1 􀀀 x) + 2(1 􀀀 y) + )"

Shouldn't it be rather: "... for r< k < r + Q lead to .."

or is this how mathematicians communicate?

Discussion

Terry Richards Nov 1, 2012:
Yes, either form (and a third possibility) It would probably be better in the first version if the "for r < k < r + Q" was separated by a pair of commas. "...lead, for r < k < r + Q, to..."

You could also move the entire for clause to the end "lead to g(x;y)... for r < k < r + Q".

All 3 are equally valid.
David Moore (X) Nov 1, 2012:
Alternatives? Regard this as a "neutral" to the posting below if you will; I'd take your side, because it looks to me as if either form is equally valid - mathematicians' 'communication' notwithstanding!

It is correct

the "to" is at the end of this phrase.

the "for" clause says that the bit at the end is only true if the condition "r < k < r+Q" is satisfied.
