Talk:The Popularity of War

Like it so far

Just a couple of things...

1. Images of war - can be somewhat off-putting - the Buddhist monk and Israeli soldier are just a bit too much. The rest are good. Love the Lincoln one.
2. Use Latex math functions for the equations.

Popularity of War = (Active nations still extant) + Years of war + (Casualties / 100,000)

becomes

$p_{war}=n_{e\bowtie a}+t_{years}+{\frac {c}{100,000}}$

Where

$p_{war}=$ Popularity (of war)

$n_{e\bowtie a}=$ Nations (still extant and active)

$t_{years}=$ time (in years)

${\frac {c}{100,000}}=$ Total number of (human) casualties / 100,000

By the way, I have no idea what the bowtie actually means in mathematics, but it looks good. You could keep with the weapon motif and use $\rightleftharpoons$ instead.

The other thing is $10\mu c$ mathematically means $10*10^{-6}*c$ or ${\frac {c}{100,000}}$ but it has a more sciencey ring to it.

Thanks I've never used the maths functions--Sog1970 10
