OK, I'll add the mathematical notation. But, I think the more explicit
description and example might help those who would not recognize the
notation.

Sure, that should not be a problem.

Yes, my plan is to use the mathematical notation throughout with a

Agree. And Davidlor suggested renaming "needs" in the routine name
to prepare. If renamed prepare, I think it would more clear.

Yes.
Thank you for the review and comments.
