\section{List of Variables}
|
||
|
|
Are you ever confused about what something is? Do you ever forget what a variable represents? Then I got the solution for you. The following overview will explain what each variable is and
|
||
|
|
represents. I will try to not use one variable for the same thing, though that is sometimes very difficult to do. I'll do my best. In the meantime, enjoy this exstensive list. Note that this
|
||
|
|
only applies to variables in code, every symbol in equations are explained at the equations themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{itemize}
