    We have been having a discussion about single-word switches and having trouble finding any examples for this type of situation:

    ... to find a<sub>n</sub> and n when a<sub>1</sub> = 1, ...

    Would it be permissible to use single-word switches on the words and and when, or is it more appropriate to switch out after a<sub>n </sub>and then switch back in again before the equation?

    Thanks for your time!

    Since the single letter n can be transcribed in either code (UEB or Nemeth), either transcription is acceptable. Personally, I find it to be smoother reading if you use the single-word switches because this means only one opening Nemeth Code indicator and only one Nemeth Code terminator are needed.
