| 2 days ago | comment | added | Amit | @quarague Agreed. But "without context" is a very specific assumption. I am assuming that generally in many (if not most) cases, context is given. It is therefore more relevant to discuss the majority of cases -- where even there I still find the explicit notation more helpful. So I'm not in disagreement with you, just sharing the general thought process of mine in writing this. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | quarague | I would make the 'often very helpful' even stronger. Without context $y''+kx=0$ is just not a well defined equation, it could be mean multiple different things and it is a priori not clear which one is meant. | |
