Even if you accept no accurate absorption in the history of algebraic typography (I don’t, alike admitting I already capital to be a mathematician), if you accept any absorption at all in typography, abnormally the ancient hot-type kind, you will adore Eddie Smith’s From baking advance and atramentous art: An article on the history of algebraic typography. Smith writes “To absolutely acknowledge algebraic typography, we accept to aboriginal acknowledge the accepted history of typography, which is additionally a history of animal civilization,” and he follows through; I’ve never apprehend a bunched presentation of that history that was as barefaced and enjoyable. It’s account it aloof for the angel labeled “The circuitous adjustment of characters and spaces appropriate to compose mathematics with metal type,” which is mind-boggling, and for the anecdotes, like this one:
At Chicago in the 1960’s and 1970’s we had a abstruse typist who got to the point that he, alive no mathematics, could and did bolt algebraic mistakes aloof from the attending of things. He additionally advised himself an artist, and it was a absolute action to get things the way you and not he capital them.
And for me it was account it aloof for this footnote: “TeX is arresting ‘tek’ and is an English representation of the Greek belletrist τεχ, which is an abridgement of τέχνη (or technē).” All these years I’ve been adage “tex” (and “latex” for LaTeX) like a doofus!
