Honestly couldn't tell you where this horrible notation was coming from. The page that the problems and examples are on is a photocopy from the text and all the book information is missing. When this particular student tried to get a copy of the book (to find a better explanation of what was going on), she was denied. The professor for the class is a total prick.

Here's the scenario so you can understand a little better. This student needs this one class to graduate. She had to miss time in the class due to severe illness, and she called the professor to see if there was any way she could still get credit for the course (being that it's the ONLY course she needs). His answer was to give her a total of 9 problems from some text that is nothing like what they went over in class.

So, she took the challenge and struggled with these problems for quite a while. Then, she decided to try to get others to help her. She's tried everyone she knows all over the country. No one had a clue. Her aunt, the secretary for my building, asked if I could help out. I looked at the papers and was about to go out of my mind. I couldn't even find a text in my personal library to help with this notation. I had, nonetheless, written something down and decided to bring the problems here to get another opinion.

There are six more problems (but I don't believe they are of this nature).

So, I thank everyone who participated and gave these horrendous problems a try.




Oh, btw, this is for a course in law school, if you can believe that.
