⚠️

Mistake: Using programming operators instead of proper math symbols

Fix: In mathematical content, use ≠ (≠) not !=, ≤ (≤) not <=, × (×) not x or *. Programming operators are meant for code, not mathematical notation.

⚠️

Mistake: Confusing similar math symbols with different meanings

Fix: Use ≅ (&cong;) for congruence, ≈ (≈) for approximate equality, ∼ (&sim;) for similarity. Each symbol has a distinct mathematical meaning.
