Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Part of a page from Narasimhan (1966), a set of typewritten lecture notes which were published directly as provided by the author, apparently typed on an IBM Selectric typewriter. This portion shows the mixture of hand-written and type-written symbols, along with a rare appearance of "blackboard bold" style letters for R and C, new at the time but now pervasive in technical literature.
