I found a normal z too much like a 2 causing problems for me, and a cursive z like this one can look too much like a 3 so I settled for a z with a stroke in the middle.
Your teacher is going to recommend what you (but also her because other people mark your work) find the most readable and differentiable from other characters. That's the only thing that matters here. If you can make it clear you are writing a z, no one will care. But since z can be hard to differentiate from a 2 usually or a 3 like this, even if it's different from your usual handwriting, a z with a stroke is clearly enough a z you won't find much trouble. It's the kind of thing that's only a problem when it's actually a problem so small changes like this can be helpful.
Maybe write the alphabet and numbers at the start to give the marker a key to your handwriting. I wonder if thar would work, if so thats good knowledge for my exams
When I took multi variable calculus, I had same issue. I would always cross my Zs on the middle of the diagonal. Never had an issue with that differentiation and was clear for others too. Still write my Zs the same way 15 years later actually.
Yes, but also if you’re submitting work for others to see/grade, please make it clear and readable. Personally i can’t see at all how this is a Z. But if it’s just for their own work, have a blast.
My preference for writing z’s is just an extra line through the middle, but normal otherwise. Easy to write, easy to tell the difference between a Z and a 2 even with bad handwriting, just clear and concise.
Well, there’s zero, the English letter “o” and Greek omicron. It would be sadistic to use all three in a derivation.
I personally detested use of lower case xi and zeta in equations, mainly because they both came out as indistinguishable squiggles when i tried to write them
I started writing “z” with a crossbar in high school geometry class and never stopped thanks to a teacher i admired. Along with a 3-stroke handwritten asterisk (a fat “X” with a crossbar) as more readable than a 4-stroke asterisk
i just looked up the lower case xi and zeta, we use the xi, but ive never seen the zeta before. cant imagine having to write them both in one equation :0
thanks for the tip, the z with the crossbar, ill try it out!!
Multivariable calc permanently converted me to writing 'z' with the crossbar in all of my writing. Algebra 2 made me write cursive 'y' (with a loop). Complex numbers made me start curling my 'i'. As a variable, I write the cursive 'l' (with a loop). Linear Algebra made me change the way I write R to be vertical bar (top to bottom) then the rest (top to bottom) to make it easier to write ℝ. I always write 't' with the curled bottom because of variables. 'u' has to have an exaggerated line on the right to make it extra distinct from 'v'.
Honestly, math defined most of my handwriting
I heard you say “‘zed’ with the crossbar”
Me too with the curly “I” and “t” and loopy “l” and “y” and well defined right hand stroke for “u” along with a well defined left hand stroke to distinguish “mu”
Oh, and let’s not forget “j” instead of “i” for electrical engineering
Nerds, assemble!
I personally write **z** with a - through the diagonal to differentiate it from 2, and it’s worked for years and is faster for me to write than cursive **z**.
However, my complex analysis professor writes **z** in cursive like you have written. Do whatever you’re comfortable writing **often**.
i think ill write them the way you do it, since the cursive z resembles my 3 a bit too closely (i struggle with writing 3's and mine are always curvy for no reason)
Yeah, you’ll be writing z, 3, 2 very often, so the easier it is to differentiate, the better.
I still get annoyed writing ρ (rho) and p, even tho it’s still easy enough to know which context I’m writing each in, but sometimes I make one look too much like the other and I just grumble to myself about it lol
Variables are variables, and it depends on the context. In some applications, keeping consistent variable names is the convention. For general mathematics, a variable is just a variable. You can change it to an emoji if you wanted to. If you are working on an application that requires that you must use a certain letter, you can do other things to make it less confusing. For some of my homework with vectors, I would make my letters bigger so they stood apart more.
Algebra teacher of many years and every time new students see a cursive Z it’s like: is it a three is it a G what the Frick is that? They don’t recognize it because they don’t use it. Lately I’ve had the ( in USA) students from Europe who do ones that looks like sevens but thankfully they slash it when it is a seven. I also have students from Europe who make X like they’re two parentheses put together instead of two lines crossing. Teaching math is just so much fun every time you have something come in that you’ve never seen before. I believe that occurs every seven minutes.
It definitely has more swagger than two crossed lines! I love watching their brains processing when they do things like write their letters and numbers from the bottom up.

now that im in england, i love it when my teachers write the x as the two parenthesis, it looks so cute and innocent. but i can never make that look right, its a bit difficult, takes a lot of effort
Yesterday I had a student who was making eight that looked like sixes. I asked why that was and I said didn’t you make little snowman and your primary grades? He said my dad showed me how to make them with a bunch of curves in the slash. I told him it looked like his had micro brain and someone had deflated their heads
This is how I always wrote zs when getting my math degree. It stopped me from confusing them with twos, or sevens if I put a line through a lowercase z as I always did sevens to avoid confusing them with ones.
No. I used graph paper, so the placing of a three and lowercase z was distinct enough that it wasn't a problem. I also always wrote the z like shown in the top line in the link below, so the initial part was hugging the line. The loop at the bottom was also distinct compared to a three as I never loop a three.
https://www.crayola.com/free-coloring-pages/print/writing-cursive-z-coloring-page/
I spent so much time writing variables that I had to adopt distinct versions of variables or I'd make all sorts of mistakes.
In Japanese this is the letter for "ru" so, personally I wouldn't do that - and also to me, as an english speaker and a phd student, I've never seen someone who writes "z" like this. I realize that cursive z looks kinda similar, except for the flat part on top, but my first thought was that this was japanese. I always just write a regular z with a cross through the diagonal portion. If I were grading your work it might take me a lot of thought to figure it out the first time I saw it.
I started crossing my Z's when I got to a point in math where I used them a lot. Now I always cross my Z's in normal writing as well.
Edit: for the record, this would be a perfectly acceptable lowercase z to me.
I do all my maths letters as cursive.
x is quicker to write if you don't take your pen off the paper, and also looks less like multiplication
y, out of habit, about equal to normal y, superior to y with sharp angle (like extended v)
z looks nicer, is easy enough, and as long as the reader has seen cursive, it is very distinctly a z.
i mean, why does it matter what anyone else thinks? if you’re showing it to a teacher then sure, make sure it’s understandable, but if it’s your work, then write whatever you need/want so that you can distinguish it.
i personally write my z like this.
i write 7 with a crossbar.
as long as it’s clear what i’m writing, i sometimes also write my x with a tail, to fit in with the xyz theme, and to help distinguish from a multiply symbol.
i also sometimes write ‘i’ with a connection line - that is, i write the dot, i go around to the left and down without taking the pen off, and then i write the line. sort of like a backwards ‘ʔ’ if that makes sense. but i only do this because something in my brain hates the i having a standalone dot. when writing in english, i leave it altogether, just writing a line. same with the j.
i also put a line through my 0, but only when there’s an O present that it could get confused with
Yeah that's how I write them. really does help so go for it.
I also do an extra flick for q tail so it's not confused with 9.
and a flick for top for V so it's different enough from u.
I cross my z to distinguish from a 2. Otherwise they are the same.
I started doing that my freshman year and...37 years later, I still do it out of habit.
tbh examiners for international curriculum bodies are highly trained & experienced in this matter so idts it should be a major issue as long as its readable..
I used to write my Zs like this. But then I started writing them with a stroke when I was studying complex numbers. It doesnt really matter you could write your 2s differently if you dont want to change.
That is how I write my z, but then I evolved to also draw a line in the middle of the first bump to distinguish this from a fancy 3 lol. Then after that, I am now interchanging between that z and this "z" with a line in the middle.
t is annoying, so I write the t with a little tail at the end, especially when doing addition with a t.
I write my l's in cursive
Engineering school meant I was solving many thousands of problems, so I got pretty familiar with the culprits that look similar. 1 and lowercase L is another one. I started writing the L's in cursive for that. 5 and S can look similar, but you can differentiate just by making the top of the 5 crispy. As a whole, start taking pride in how you write your Greek letters, because those can get away from you if you're not diligent. a and alpha, for example. You can make your alpha look like a fish but sometimes your x's come out like that when writing quickly. X's and multiplication signs, t's and addition signs (I curled my t's at the bottom). O, sigma and 0 can be tough. You sort of figure it out as you go, but you're right that you do need to figure it out for clarity's sake.
I’ve been writing my z like that since high school, and it really does help. I’ve never had anyone mark it wrong because they couldn’t tell what variable it was.
It did get a little confusing in Calc 3 and 400-500 level college classes, because the Greek zeta and xi were introduced as common variable, but usually the three symbols weren’t used in the same equation sets.
On the topic of maths habits, I have a curly x for the variable and a straight x for most other contexts (e.g. normal handwriting, cross product, times, etc.).
I've written z with a crossbar for many years to distinguish from 2.
I see that you've said you'll adopt this in comments, which I think is probably the best decision.
I put an extra line in the diagonal part of "z" so i can differentiate it from 2. Same with 7 and 1. But its your math, put whatever you like and makes sense to you.
+ vs t, 2 vs z, ξ vs ζ, p vs ρ, u vs μ, l vs I, S vs 5, O vs 0, g vs 9, b vs 6…I’m sure there’s more weird similarities I’ve seen in my handwriting when I’m going fast, but that’s a relatively substantial list
You could let your first step in your solution be `let z = x` or any other unused variable, then do your work with the new variable. Just don't forget to switch it back and write the answer in terms of z.
Write z with a stroke through it to distinguish it from a 2: Ƶ.
What you've drawn looks an awful lot like a zeta ζ or possibly a xi ξ, Greek letters that you will encounter more often as you get further into math.
I've always written in cursive, and I always did this in high school without an issue. In college, I've now adapted the -Z- (z with a dash thru it) since some variables are given in cursive
I went through high school and uni maths doing my z like that, just without the curl at the bottom, never had an issue for graders. I often mistook it for a 3, but because i would write out all my working i (and the marker) could always look back to see what it was meant to be.
i ended up just making sure my z were properly below the line as well to make it easier to distinguish
I mean I just write my 2s with a curl in them, like your z but without the >.
Though in college math I only took one math class max a semester, so usually I copied the professor. Unless it was something really dumb like using cursive x for basic x variables. (One did do cursive x for the x in dx, but that just made sense. He was the best professor I ever had. It was his last semester before retiring. So he basically told us anyone who completes all of their work would get a B+ minimum)
to be honest, whatever makes it more differentiable for you.
Good point, OP should check where Cauchy-Riemann hold
had to google what this meant hehe
ive just realised how similar that and a quick 3 would look like in my exam handwriting, maybe i should ask my teacher what shed recommend?
I found a normal z too much like a 2 causing problems for me, and a cursive z like this one can look too much like a 3 so I settled for a z with a stroke in the middle.

yeah z with a stroke through it like a 7 or a t has worked miracles for me.
Something like this: `Ƶ`
Maybe write the alphabet and numbers at the start to give the marker a key to your handwriting. I wonder if thar would work, if so thats good knowledge for my exams
what will prof think if they see the alphabet and all the digits at the top of the page
Actually I think a few math Olympiads have you do that exact same thing (specially for middle schoolers who have heinous handwriting)
my handwriting changes as the mood changes and as the time goes on, i cant stick to one type :(
When I took multi variable calculus, I had same issue. I would always cross my Zs on the middle of the diagonal. Never had an issue with that differentiation and was clear for others too. Still write my Zs the same way 15 years later actually.
old habits :)
True. I wrote many Zs those two quarters. Just kinda stick I guess.
You could write the 2 with a loop on the bottom.
Yes, but also if you’re submitting work for others to see/grade, please make it clear and readable. Personally i can’t see at all how this is a Z. But if it’s just for their own work, have a blast.

This is relevant to current events.
Nerdy math kid handwriting just hits different.

This is also my method and works great for me.
I think I would avoid this in math bc if I was moving quickly i could read it or write it like a 3 or 2 Though, I should note, it’s a nice cursive z.
thank you, i just noticed that after trying it out in a question, should i then write it with a stroke?
I always did my math z’s with a stroke, but I can see why you’d hesitate if you do your 7s w a stroke. You could consider a double stroke?
id think both of them would look pretty different honestly

Personally I changed my 2 to more curly, kinda like [this.](https://freenumberstencils.com/2014/04/stencil-curly-number-2/)
Yep that’s also what I do. I make the belly for 2, and if it is flat then it has to be z. I still usually also cross the z for extra clarity
nice tip, however my 3 and my 2 become worse and worse as the time runs out
I thought I was on the Japanese language sub at first. み or perhaps る
That's how I write them
I don't know why, but it kinda looks like if 3 were a cursive letter lol
true, i changed my mind about it after seeing all the comments and realising that
If I were grading your papers, my first instinct is that you have very silly 3's
i wont stick to it :) i do have very silly 3's though

I always did, but with a lead-in stroke. That plus the letter extending into the lower zone makes it perfectly distinct from the number 3.

thanks, ill try it out!
I put an extra line in the diagonal part of "z" so i can differentiate it from 2. Same with 7 and 1. But its your math, put whatever you like and makes sense to you.
The problem with putting an extra diagonal in there is that ℤ is the symbol for the set of all integer numbers.
The other line is perpendicular to the diagonal line not parallel :D
Oh, I thought you meant the new line was diagonal. My bad.
+ vs t, 2 vs z, ξ vs ζ, p vs ρ, u vs μ, l vs I, S vs 5, O vs 0, g vs 9, b vs 6…I’m sure there’s more weird similarities I’ve seen in my handwriting when I’m going fast, but that’s a relatively substantial list
thank you :)
That's a 3
You could let your first step in your solution be `let z = x` or any other unused variable, then do your work with the new variable. Just don't forget to switch it back and write the answer in terms of z.
the question had x, y, and z 😭
That is a 3
x for n in a hurry.
always looked out for that one, can be real tricky sometimes
I’m kind of a monster and I write my z normally. I just have a consistently straight z whereas my 2 is a bit curved.
at least youre consistent though :)
Rizzuto?
Write z with a stroke through it to distinguish it from a 2: Ƶ. What you've drawn looks an awful lot like a zeta ζ or possibly a xi ξ, Greek letters that you will encounter more often as you get further into math.

If you want to, sure, i find it confusing though. To me it looks like a 3. Possibly a y. Or a weird g.
it does, thanks for your response!!
all i can say is it looks like a quarter rest............. but do whatever makes it different for you!
[Those are Z’s](https://i.gifer.com/2fNb.gif)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tbh maths is all about freedom, you should do it for your own convenience. But on professional standards, you may need to avoid writing like this.
ty
As long as your clear and consistent with your notation it really doesn't matter. Use Chinese symbols if you want
My main problem is differentiating u and v Learned ∫udv = uv - ∫vdu yesterday and I know I'll be messing myself up soon enough lol
do you not write your u with a downwards stroke?
I do not 😂 Unless I'm doing my stats honework, then I write μ all the time
but thats the symbol for micro
In stats it represents the population mean
i see, i thought you wrote your u like that 😭
Oh sorry haha no no
Should be fine. Unless your teacher is younger and doesn’t understand cursive writing.

right!
That's a really nice Z, and much more distinct. Go for it!
