[Mamyalynne]

sorry

[frugalfred]

Where do you get the "p" from, madmac?

[madmac74]

6a) Symbol used in Cartesian co-ordinates (pel)

[frugalfred]

I'm not strong on Maths, madmac, but is this helpful:
Del, or Nabla, is an operator used in mathematics, in particular, in vector calculus, as a vector differential operator, usually represented by the nabla symbol ∇. When applied to a function defined on a one-dimensional domain, it denotes its standard derivative as defined in calculus. ...

[Mamyalynne]

Well done Fred.

[frugalfred]

Chambers defines "pel" as an earlier word for "pixel". No mention of Cartesian matters!

[frugalfred]

And you, mamya, are the greatest AB polymath! xx

[Mamyalynne]

Never in the memory, but thanks...

[slaney]

So it's del for the Cartesian symbol, and cod for the parody then?
Glad that's sorted :)
