How should I write the plural of a mathematical variable? E.g., in these sentences:
- The values of f(ui|uj) are independent for different [uj/ujs/uj's].
- The values of f(ui|uj) are independent for different [j/js/j's].

2From my experience, you usually do not need to make variables themselves plural; for example, you would say "... are independent for different values of u" etc.– BittersweetNostalgiaMay 30, 2018 at 0:38

I mean something that doesn't require the reader to go to another webpage such that the reader reads my question and reads your answer to it, with the links as supplementary material.– ShayanJul 17, 2018 at 11:20

That already is what is there, people can already do that. --- Step 1: Read, Step 2: Understand, Step 3: Doubt, Step 4: Check the sources and references, Step: 5 Don't linger or revisit just move along. --- There's no additional requirements, simply do things normally.– RobJul 17, 2018 at 11:51
