Nintendo Gaming / Proper Chronology for Metroid / Samus?
« on: April 01, 2003, 02:59:42 PM »
Has anyone had a math class. prime or (') is used to distinguish two variables from one another. Meaning
x and x' . Metroid Prime is after the orginal Metroid because it is Metroid'
As found at http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=prime
>prime ( P )
>n.
>6. A mark (') appended above and to the right of a character, especially:
> a. One used to distinguish different values of the same variable in a mathematical expression.
That's my two cents.
Edit: copy and paste has thwarted me again.
