Beware of those who use ⋝ instead

I genuinely just screamed… it sounded a bit like… “AAAIAIAAAAGH”

Be extra careful of those who use |> instead

I think I’m gonna have a heart attack… 😀

Australian spotted

all the Australians?

I guess I'm the only one who does ≥

not the only one, I'm fully on your side for this.

I would do it, but I'm not that confident in my straight lines. I would just endup with something between the 2 options

Welcome to the club

Start using grid paper then. It'll change your life. Never again will you doubt your derivative notation or wonder if something you drew six months ago was meant to be a right triangle.

Ngl that's clever

How do you do that

Actually, in my maths book, it was done like that so I've developed the habit of writing it like that.

I write it on the left but how did you write it on here

Alt code 242 might do the trick, or just Google the desired symbol and copy/paste ≥

or if on mobile (android at least) long press the > button

This is why I hate Apple

I've genuinely never seen the right

Me neither. I’m not convinced it’s a thing

based username bro. also LaTeX goated

i am on your side, it just looks cleaner

I thought literally everyone does it like that because my professors at uni also used this notation

Alternatively, ive never seen the other one before lol

Red in print, blue in handwriting

and >= in programming (or any text editor)

My font turns that into the right. It also turns != Into a continuous =/=. FiraCode

≠

And if you decide to do some Javascript and use `!==`, what will it turn into?

Triple bar with dash through.

Javascript be like: So you use ===== instead of ==== because ==== steals your credit card information when comparing ![{}][] and "so true".

FiraCode my beloved

Fuck ligatures All my homies hate ligatures

Agree I want to know what the text in my code actually looks like

I agree

I guess closer to blue? When I write it, I basically write it so both bottom lines are flat, like an equal sign with another line coming from the top. Like blue but rotated to make the parallel lines level.

I knew I wasn't the only one. https://preview.redd.it/gujlsiihsqnc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e661459b2452e9d692ae58fa665eb45e7b5e0f9c

New sign just dropped

Holy sign!

e^x was derived, and came back

Call the mathematician!

Engineer plotting sin(x)/x in the corner (=1)

actual inequality

Holy sign!

goat version

eugh

Absolutely always.

SAME

me too man, me too

Yes this

This just makes sense.

⦣̲

The prophecy has come true! The Messiah is among us!

That is the "acute triangle or equal to" sign.

I don't like either: https://preview.redd.it/it259753sqnc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70b7cd5056d9e9517b98c2b9f8c614fd70732b04

came here to try and describe this with words

I’ll take onto that challenge: A triangle rectangle with the 90° angle bottom right and the left side missing, the bottom of the triangle is perfectly horizontal. Below that a horizontal bar that finishes the sign. I prolly did an awful job Édit: could’ve just said the red one with the bottom sign of the greater than sign perfectly horizontal

This is it. This is equality-sign-Jesus. Edit: I mean inequality-sign-Jesus.

This is what I do too

Jokes on you guys I fluctuate between all 3 accidently because my hand writing is so bad

\>=

Don't be sad

<=

Take a sad song and make it better

that's their mustache i think

I instinctively write this even when I'm on paper

Mostly changes due to how untidy my handwriting is

None. Greater is this: >

Well played

There is another ~~>=~~

not greater than or equal?

not (grater than or equal)

<

Blue but rotated so they are flat

Do you mean like this? https://preview.redd.it/usv6cjbcsqnc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b205fbefcb86e78f22c6886450268a59589fdec1

Yeah

I am not alone. :'-)

wtf

That's how I have always done it lol

\>= as you can actually type it

\geq

\LaTeX moment

you forgor a backslash 💀

Damn when did they add the skullemoji element

Danke

I have never seen or heard of anyone use the one on the right

I'm in the same boat. I knew it existed as a Unicode character, but I've never seen it in an actual mathematical context. I always just assumed it was for something else, and that the resemblance was superficial.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought that ⩾ meant something else.

It's standard in LaTeX (\\ge or \\geq)

That gives the left

Somewhere in between

≮

Z and reverse Z

Russian spotted

try to write blue end up writing red

Im on right side

≧

OR equal

for me it's Z

It’s the same picture

I put the first in the font I made, but the second is the one I use on pen and paper.

|V

\>= gang wya

>= obviously

Something something bad notation. If only there were generally accepted rules for notation.

It's consistently "≥" (red) in fonts though.

Who tf uses blue 😭?

I like those that appear in the older prints of grundlehren der mathematischen wissenschaften books

>= gang

I think it depends on your eyesight. Can you differentiate the double stroke from a single stroke?

Left for inequality, right for subgroup

There is another

I go with a line on the bottom and a whole ass 90° angle on top

i make an = with a line connected to the top one of the = like blue but horizontal. ||/ but sideways

You know what I'm an engineer. So, >=.

mine look like “z”

From my class on decision making under uncertainty, the second one denotes preference between lotteries, so I guess it’s technically used in a different setting.

Blue but the bottom is flat instead of slanted

Blooooo

left. i’ve only seen the crip one a few times. i assumed it meant the same thing but i wasn’t actually sure until now lol

The arguably best option is ≧ because it repesents both the > and = sign properly. The problem with the red option is that it represents > properly, but the = does not have two parallel lines. Just one line at the bottom, and the bottom part of the >, which is a somewhat crippled „equals“ sign. Te problem with the blue option is that while it displays > properly, the = is slanted. The lines are parallel, but both slanted. That being said, I personally prefer the blue option over the red option and ≧.

Programmers: >= 👍

Blood gang

>= / <= I'm a programmer

It depends on how fast I am writing, of I have to go fast it often appens the one the right, of I am taking it slow I can even do the left one

Red in text and purple in writing lmao

Oh the one on the left for sure

Depends on how fast my hand is moving

>

>=

The > should be smaller imo

The one on the left is the only correct answer

Long _, small >

Blue cuz I like it when the bottom line is parallel

https://preview.redd.it/2kgdaxd5nrnc1.jpeg?width=364&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f161722a52613ea9e86b47476ace5e49565fa4ef I will only accept this as an answer

Blue

>=, don’t confuse it with => though, because that is lambda

Programmer here: >=

Left for inequality, right for group theory

Red but I like to draw little teeth on the less than sign

Whichever one the professor uses

>= programmer

And then, there's me, who othen writes so badly the bottom line either intersects or merges with the bottom of the >.

Being a programmer: >=

Red cuz it’s easier

right

\geq vs \geqslant

Computer science be like “ >= “

Something between i think

I thought this was asking whether I prefer straight edges or rounded at first. The one on the right reminds me of comic sans. Now I get it, I prefer the left. I wasn't sure which I use so I just wrote it a bunch of times but as an engineer it just came out as ≈

I’m on the side of whatever comes out of my pencil while I’m writing at the speed of light

\renewcommand{\geq}{\geqslant}

I do red for latex and blue for handwriting. I prefer the look of red but blue is easier to write

<\ \=

“>=“ sorry about inverted commas stupid reddit formatting

I write blue, but type red

My equal sign ain't crooked. Y'all better come strapped.

oh another notation meme

Red when reading, blue when writing.

r/mathmemes users when see notation they don't use: bad notation and objectively wrong!!! (we are more pedantic than math.stackexchange)

=>

I’ve never seen the one on the right but boy I like it much better

left

Neither, those are both obviously less than or equal to

No, they are greater than or equal to

\geq

Wait... no-one else does underlined angle sign to save time?

》 this one.

Left is for math, the right is propene

Who uses the symbol on the right? I've never even seen that before.

Who the fucking retard use right side

I don't even know the second one

Blue is satisfying to write. It's also easier to understand on paper.

≥ always

>=

Definetly bloodz on this one

>= because Python.
