# Talk:The Popularity of War

### editLike 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
