Section 6.6.2 #28

Closed sginoza closed 1 year ago

sginoza commented 1 year ago

Section 6.6.2: Does "other values depending on Z" mean "other values that depend on Z" or "other values, depending on Z" (as in "depending on what the value of Z is", in which case a comma should be added before "depending")? We ask because of "depend on
the constant Z" in Appendix F.2.1.

Original: Exceptions: The exceptional cases are values of u such that Z^2 * u^4

it's the former: "other values that depend on Z".

To give more context, the condition Z^2 u^4 + Z u^2 == 0 is satisfied for some values of u. Such as u==0 and others. These other values depend on the actual value of Z. hope it clarifies.
