| 5 hours ago | comment | added | TimR | @Jsw29 as does not fit in this context, and so I ignored it.. Feel free to focus your own answer on it, if you think it does. I don't want to explain why it's wrong -- as that would be to go down a rabbit hole, when the question is about setting a symbol to represent a concept. I can cite plenty of attestations of denoted as by non-native speakers. | |
| 6 hours ago | comment | added | jsw29 | By using by and with, the answer implies that these are appropriate, but it doesn't say anything about as, which is the one that is most in need of discussion. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | TimR | @R.M. No, not ignored at all. I choose the appropriate preposition in my answer. Bu I will add a sentence showing which preposition to use with "We denote". | |
| yesterday | comment | added | R.M. | As indicated by the tags, the question is primarily about which preposition to use. This is completely ignored by this answer. | |
