writing - Referencing Non-Equations ("See Eq. (15)/See Ineq. (15)")


When I write something like


x is a stochastic function of y:
    x ~ N(2y, 3)                      (1),

how do I refer back to that... non-equation? Do I still put "see Eq. (1)" although (1) is not an equation?



Answer




Mathematically you are true... it's not an equation. Technically I would say, that everything, that is display-style math and has a number attached for identification is called an equation in such contexts.
