Hello

Does it make sense to write:
"The formula definition of these indicators is recalled in the annex"/

Context :
it is about mathematic definitions of the indicators

Thanks

"these indicators" makes it plural so use "are"

"The formula definition of these indicators are described in Annex A.
 "The formula definition of these indicators are listed in Annex A.
 "The formula definition of these indicators are shown in Annex A.
"The formula definition of these indicators are given in Annex A.

Or any other word which describes what your Annex contains and how it is laid out.

When referring to Appendices and Annexures you would write (note the capitals):

...in Annex A.

or

...in Appendix 1 to Annex A.


All Annexures are lettered - even if there is only 1 (A, B, C,... AA, AB, etc.).
All Appendices are given a number - even if there is only 1. (Appx 1, 2, 3, etc. to Annex A, Appx 1, 2, 3, etc. to Annex B, etc.)

What interests me most is to know if "formula definition" is OK
Not sure without more context but "formula definition" is s strange combination.

It probably means either "the formal definition...of the indicators" or "the formulae defining ...the indicators".

If there is only one formula it is fine.

You could change it to:

"definition of the formula" but there's no need so why bother 👁 Smile :)


If it is for more than one formula then it would be:

"formulae definitions"

Eh? He has told us the context is Maths. Therefore, it is formula/formulae and they have a definition.
The I'd say it's "formal definition" you want. What is the exact phrase you're trying to translate?

That's only one possible style. My employer's corporate style mandates that appendices be lettered, not numbered. So did that of my previous employer.

Fine and I don't disagree I merely quoted the standard (UK) method. I do realise that many organisations have their own individual styles. Anyway, it is a moot point since the original poster has stated that he didn't need to know about Annexures.

It may well be the "formal definition of a formula" but it is far easier (and legitimate) just to say the "formula definition"

My present and previous employers are both UK based. Are you aware of a formal standard or guidance for this? I don't have any of my UK style guides to hand, but I note that the (US) Chicago Manual of Style uses lettered appendices.

Every company I have ever worked for has done it this way. It is also the way I know it is taught on Business Admin courses such as at the London Institute of Commerce and Universities here in Glasgow and I believe (though not definite on this) it is the method approved by RSA and other such secretarial accreditation bodies in UK.
