Re: Mathematics in Persian, feedback needed

Hi, Just to add some info about the French system : Among the common differences you see in primary school mathematics are the long division notation. e.g. In English it's written as shown in . In french it's: 14523 | 34 92

About "tg" vs "tan": for a while, "tg", "cotg", and "cosec" were used. Then the academic community switched to "tan", "cot", and "csc" but the high school trigonometry textbooks remained with "tg" and family. After a while, the high school textbooks also switched. Now the common form used in all le
