Topic: Plain text for lambda


Max Glick (Jul 23 2022 at 20:50):

Frivolous question here: Is there a plain text version of '\lambda'? In the same sense that you can use 'nat' instead of '\N' or 'Pi' in place of '\Pi'.

assume

Thanks.

Or fun

assume is actually slightly different than \lam (it allows you to omit the variable name, for example). The actual plain text equivalent of \lam is fun.
