If the then-traditional manner of teaching mathematics could be changed to emphasize logical thinking (rather than routinized application of formulas), it was argued that perhaps mathematical training could improve reasoning ability in general.
Even elliptical expressions such as ita missa est have within them the capacity to allow further application of formulas such as cantata, dicta, etc.
Surveys of different types of applications of formula (6) are given for n=2 in (Richter 2015b) and for arbitrary n in (Richter 2012, 2014).
But you don't achieve results like this with the mere application of a formula.
There are no African-Americans in Chabon's Yiddish Alaska, but America's black-white gulf is surely the truest application of his formula.
In mathematics, iterate came to be used for the application of a formula in repeated fashion, taking the result from one pass and feeding it back as the input for the next go-round.
I go back to him repeatedly, while urging myself to remember that relevance is not the same as topicality, that Shakespeare works much more through storytelling than symbolic gesture, and that every play of his is unique, different and particular, and won't be solved by the application of a formula.
Since the application of this formula would have resulted in a significant reduction in the parity prices for some politically important farm products, particularly cotton and wheat, legislation that was passed in 1949 declared that the parity price for an individual commodity was to be determined by either the old or the new formula, whichever was higher.
