A side note: the terminology “Algebraic” Notation is a misnomer. It seems to imply that such notations have something to do with the branch of math called algebra while other notation systems do not. The reason the name Algebraic Notation is used because when the science of algebra was young, around 1700s mathematicians are dealing with equations using symbols like “+ × =” written out similar to the way we use them today. This is before the activities of systimatic investigation into notation systems as necessitated in the studies of logic in 1800s or computer languages in 1900s. So, when notation systems are actually invented, the conventional way of infixing “+ × =” became known as algebraic because that's what people think of when seeing them.
