13. To avoid confusion, the following symbols are systematically used: parentheses, "(" and ")," to denote the operation of considering together the symbols therein; brackets, "[" and "]," to specify the argument of functions (thus adopting the same convention as in mathematica); and braces "{" and "}," to denote the set therein listed or described. A single brace is used to denote different cases. Even though these conventions may appear pedantic, a simple inspection of Eqs. (28) and (29), for instance, demonstrates their usefulness.
