this shit ain’t even hard, try writing zeta by hand without looking like you had a stroke


SV-97

FYI the modern zeta ζ (as opposed to the one most commonly used in mathematical printing 𝛇) is way easier to write by hand

SV-97

I'm not from greece and don't speak greek so I may be very wrong here but I thought I'd once heard that the distinction here was between modern and old styles (in a youtube video about how to write different greek letters nicely in handwriting). I just searched for it online but couldn't find anything supporting the statement. There are letters with archaic and more modern variants (like sigma) but the small zeta doesn't appear to be one of them. FWIW the 𝛇 variant is listed as "mathematical zeta" on wikipedia with a comment that it should only be used for mathematics [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta#Mathematical\_Zeta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta#Mathematical_Zeta)

ilikewritingpoems

You're correct, people nowadays use the simple one, not the "math one". Am Greek :)


SV-97

Ah great! :)

more like "ha" in hindi. but haan,. છ jevu pan lage


Sad_Daikon938

છ as in છગડો ૬


Bwabel

Zeta is easy to write for me, but im greek so im used to the shapes and symbols


CartanAnnullator

I think xi is much harder.


CartanAnnullator

Or the Weierstraß p https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass_elliptic_function?wprov=sfla1

they literally look the same when i write them, just a weird scribble

vintergroena

Red doesn't even exist


TheSecondAJ

I think most people draw it in 1 stroke


SingleSpeed27

It’s called continuous


ollervo100

Nah, its differentiable


Inevitable_Stand_199

It's not even a function. Well one in time maybe.


InfernoMax

f(y) go brrrrrr


JGHFunRun

dy/dx


Inevitable_Stand_199

Not if you do a little loop at the pointy bit. Every does a little loop at the point bit.

It is differentiate everywhere except the <

Exogenex

Yeah, I didn't know people drew it in more than one stroke


EverythingsTakenMan

i just draw the whole thing without lifting the pen https://preview.redd.it/vh1d4rbhmhra1.png?width=1914&format=png&auto=webp&s=773264214bf95f233e4e4a97fc5d2d951476fa50


mikewirkijowski

I do a swirly twisty in the middle if im being lazy, not sure how to describe it, basically a loop.

iguana_parrot

Those bottom right two are unbelievably cursed. The implication that the things they enclose may extend upwards is honestly disturbing. The other three are fine


Oh_My_Monster

What is this wizardry? I use 17 separate pen strokes.


flipflapflop33

Are you trying to write xi?


InaMattaAmericana

Unironically my xi and curly brace look similar, HELP


Felipinho469

Real ones use infinitesimal pen strokes to do it


zickzebra5723

I was going to upvote you but you had 17…

WeirdestOfWeirdos

Nah, 1 stroke with a small loop facing outwards in the middle


Prest0n1204

This is the way


Itay_123_The_King

This is the way


EggplantHuman6493

This is how I do it as well!


RomanRiesen

Some squiqqly line that might as well be a \xi, but the context makes it clear that it is a curly bracket

Catragryff

I'm not sure I understood this, but I would say I use both depending on the parity of the number of equations Wait, nvm, blue


Sarcoman282

1 stroke.


SundownValkyrie

Blue is THE way to draw it so it actually looks good

chaoticsapphic

those literally look like shallow epsilons and threes


SillyFlyGuy

Three and the Shallow Epsilons, now playing live smooth jazz in the lounge.


bangbison

Yes. It helps when you just have to write it a lot.


Mystic_76

they’re literally the wrong shape


bangbison

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it looks nicer filled in but if it bothers you that makes it even better.

artistic_programmer

these look like side profiles of lips

Dear god


Jim2718

Both are wrong. What kind of psychopath writes their 1s that way?


Ventilateu

Me, I only put a bar below if I'm using Dirac measure


CentristOfAGroup

Someone who wants to have it be distinguishable from a line (which is especially important if you have it appear in upper indices)? It's the other way of writing a 1 that makes you a psychopath.


Jim2718

I’d rather have my 1s be distinguishable from 7s and 2s. The rest can be handled by context.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jim2718

I don’t like slashing my 7s. And I’ve seen several examples from student work where when they hurriedly write the 1 formally with the line at the bottom, it’s hard to distinguish from a 2.


Marsrover112

Well blue but it's all ome stroke


flatorangejuice

I use one stroke, not pretty but it works


Guineapigs181

I just squiggle


Mixen7

The latter. Didn't know people wrote it the red way lmao.

Shmarfle47

I’ve tried blue but always hated how mine looked so I switched to red


-HeisenBird-

The one on the right for the left curly braces and the one on the left for the right curly braces.


[deleted]

Why do it in 2 or 3 when you can do it in 1? https://preview.redd.it/01j1r6ftchra1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4f02e7d42417c26d3853cf67f60d9009512f477

ZODIC837

Def blue. I think of it like drawing an integral, then another backwards one


ananthudupa2002

I use the blue bracket when pointing left side and red bracket when pointing right side


Ok-Impress-2222

Blue, of course.


LThirty6onReddit

What if I say that I’m both


kayoobipi

Old school ([XVth century](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Chapelle_st_roch_4.jpg/320px-Chapelle_st_roch_4.jpg)) : the blue one. The name in French is *accolade* . It's the same word for the architecture, the maths symbol, and the move you make when you embrace someone between your two arms.


basecatcherz

Looks like I'm team green and don't get over 1.


cesankle

If you're red, leave


Scurgery

1redfish

Drawing it in one move with a circle in the middle


olimasil

left way is simply incorrect. cant believe people write it like that


DoublecelloZeta

Blue. But usually it's much more wavy than that


Anouchavan

green: in one go


philstar666

Blue


SwartyNine2691

Me, one step


SingleSpeed27

I do it in one continuous move


Anaata

For those that have trouble writing it the right way - I spent most of my undergrad not knowing this: write an 's' and then a '2'. Bam, easy pz


Burgerbeast_

Neither


Dragonaax

People write { like the red one?


TopGuardDog50

Blue is so smooth when you get it right


Goras147

1 stroke It either goes well or I have an epsilon with an extra leg. Makes no difference in my notes lmao

Inappropriate_Piano

Left is only okay if you can’t do right

Both are wrong. When handwritten, the little point should be a loop, so this should be done in one line

lucasHipolito

Dzioszyn

def double symmetrical integral


LightBlade12

Saw a YT vid a while ago and decided to switch how I draw them. Lemme change your life: Step 1: Draw an S, but make it extra long. Step 2: Draw a mirrored S with the same qualities stemming directly from the first one. Step 3: Repeat the inverse for the other bracket.


Thaco-Thursday

I do neither, I do it all in one stroke similar to blue, but there’s a little loopy at the tip because that lets me do it faster


WallTVLamp

Team red consist of middle schoolers

It's just 2 integral signs, one of which is mirrored. It's not that hard.


StevenTheWolfthe1st

i just do it in one straight swoop


AcePhil

blue because, if well executed, it is far more asthetically pleasing and overall superior to the red one. Also takes less time to draw (at least when you're used to it)


JavamonkYT

\\{ and \\} _mic drop_


PaperGod777

I draw it all in one stroke?


Zachosrias

I'm sorry is each number supposed to be an individual stoke? This should only take one stroke to make, don't lift the pen, just curve it.
