I am not too used to reading mathematical text using symbols. I need some help confirming what I have in my textbook.
The book is describing a point in 3D space using the definition
R x R x R = {(x,y,z) | x,y,z [itex]\in[/itex] R} and R is all real numbers
Using this source describing the definition of each symbol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols
I came up with this definition in words
The Cartesian product of R and R and R is equal to the set consisting of (x,y,z) such that x,y,z are elements of R.
Is this an accurate definition in words? I'm finding that being able to read the precise definition from math symbols is becoming even more important as my courses continue. Any other input on reading math symbols is appreciated and encouraged.
