Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Using -> or → instead of → for mapping in math

Fix: Use → (→) for function mappings (f: ℝ → ℝ). The ASCII -> is a programming convention, not mathematical notation.

⚠️

Mistake: Confusing → (rightwards arrow) with ⇒ (implies / double arrow)

Fix: Use → for maps and limits. Use ⇒ (⇒) for logical implication (P ⇒ Q). They have different mathematical meanings.
