| Mar 5, 2020 at 0:44 | comment | added | Artelius | When writing a paper, always try to cater to readers who don't have all the background (or time!) to understand everything, but can still gain something by reading. This helps make science less exclusive and more inclusive. Diagrams can help tremendously. | |

| Mar 4, 2020 at 22:15 | comment | added | Krupip | @alephzero I wish more mathematicians learned this lesson, they're one of the biggest offenders. I wince every time I have to look at a cross disciplinary paper made by one. Often they don't properly define variables (news flash, neither physical or computer sciences use the same symbols as you, so instead of expecting us to follow your conventions, explain yourself, or use ours). When you finally do parse what they were trying to say, most of the time it doesn't work. When it does it needs to be filtered many times to get it into an intelligible state. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 19:44 | comment | added | Doug Deden | @MateenUlhaq en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mécanique_analytique and famousscientists.org/joseph-louis-lagrange both support the first part of the Lagrange anecdote. I have yet to find sources for the second part. | |
| Mar 4, 2020 at 11:28 | comment | added | Mateen Ulhaq | @alephzero Do you have a source for that? (Sounds interesting.) | |

| Mar 3, 2020 at 9:53 | comment | added | Wrzlprmft♦ | Am I guessing correctly from the still in the referee’s comment that they already asked for this in a previous round of review? | |

| Mar 3, 2020 at 8:49 | comment | added | gerrit | Your audience will be grateful if you add some diagrams instead of leaving only equations. Otherwise you risk only the most strongly motivated readers will work their way through your paper. | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 7:22 | comment | added | Neil_UK | The reviewer is saying you have presented him with a wall of text. Even people who can interpret formulae easily like a bit of leavening in the form of diagrams. A sketch for the definition of the coordinates used for the binary system and the waves might be a good start. | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 1:58 | comment | added | Noah Cristino | Also, keep in mind something like a diagram could satisfy the referee and add clarity, it doesn't have to be a traditional graph which could be useless. | |

| Mar 3, 2020 at 0:51 | comment | added | alephzero | Historical anecdote: When Lagrange published his book on what is now known as Lagrangian dynamics, he was proud of the fact that it contained no diagrams at all, because the Lagrangian formulation made them unnecessary. When he came to revise it for the second edition, he discovered that he couldn't follow the details of his own work, and he had to delegate the revision to a student (who no doubt drew a lot of diagrams!) | |
