In particular, from a typographical standpoint, I don't think you should use $<<$ to mean much less than: $<$ is a binary relation, it has special spacing before and after, and is not really meant to be doubled; you should really use $\ll$ instead, as in $1 \ll 100$. Anyhow, I'm forwarding this report upstream, as it is maybe unclear whether "<<" and ">>" matching in math mode is useful or troublesome. -- Ciao, Davide -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
