symbolic representation of constant

Reported by angelrr7702 (at gmail) | 2009-06-14 00:46:46 UTC

To include a method that add a symbolic representation of the constant in the form of mathML or Latex or vectorial representation of the common symbolic representation of every one of the constants (physics,chemistry , etc)

"..This is especially important for physical constants that have long, annoying names..."

no expert programmer but student of physics and I prefers to use the normal symbols of a physics constants that their name. I understand that no make sense now but in the future we can have a ruby editor that use the symbolic representation of the objects no their name but for this the object need to have a symbolic representation return method in that way the editor show this symbol no the name.

exaple object circle (only to make my point)
circle.area ===symbolic representation==> O.area
circle.diameter ===symbolic representation==> O.diameter
circle.radio ===symbolic representation==> O.radio

that will help to add physics constants with their real symbols (no name) for code clarity.
and in a normal editor you still can read the real name.

that will help to add mathematic symbols too, like Integral, Derivation...
