This is a fourth test of the HWEB system of documentation. This test focuses on mathematical formatting. Consider the parametrization of a cylinder as "all points at radius A from the three-dimensional line p = (0, BC)+t(1, DE)." Okay, that's bogus, but let's go on. We have

p = (0, BC)+(1, DE)
ideal
p = (X Y Z )
actualiiii

So we have differences (X′, Y′, Z′) in XYZ as follows:

X : = 0
i
Y : = Y −(B+DX )
iii
Z : = Z −(C+EX )
iii

We want to minimize the sum of squared errors

X2+Y2+Z2
iii
i      

(that is, iPn Xi2+Yi2+Zi2 where Pn is the number of points involved). So we have

X2+Y2+Z2
iii
iP       
n      
...and if that doesn't all come out looking good, then you had better switch to TEX or something, because our math formatting can't get much better!
