Write the equation for the following data?      Is there any significant difference between these two prepositions here? Please help.   Sooris  Sooris Joined on Tue, Sep 26 2006 chennai Full Member 121 Sureshbabu Padmanabahan Difference Between

	CalifJim  +  532071 Tue, 24 Jun 08 10:59 PM It's an equation for the data (for the purpose of describing the data) -- not an equation of the data.  That would be an equation belonging to the data.  What would that mean???   CJ  CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,128 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche Difference Between

	Ant_222  +  532078 Tue, 24 Jun 08 11:14 PM CJ, how would you translate an Anatoliy Dneprov's book's title — "The equation of (for) immortality". I'd go for "of"... Ant_222 Joined on Sun, May 21 2006 Podolsk, Russia Contributing Member 1,716 Difference Between

	Marius Hancu  +  532109 Wed, 25 Jun 08 01:05 AM  "The equation for immortality": the equation which prescribes how to attain immortality  "The equation of immortality": the equation which is proper to immortality, which can mean the above, or the equation to which you become familiar/know when reaching immortality, and perhaps other meanings Marius Hancu Joined on Wed, Apr 26 2006 Veteran Member 11,673 Difference Between

I'd go for "of"...” I don't advise translating a title until you've translated the whole book.    In other words, a translator might have to know the contents of the book to decide which shade of meaning would be best to express that title in a foreign language.  I assume you are familiar with the book and find of better than for.  I'm willing to trust your judgment on this point.  CJ  CalifJim

	Ant_222  +  532202 Wed, 25 Jun 08 08:36 AM Thank you, CJ and Marius. Sure I know whereof I speak ;) The formula does belong to immortality in the sence H2O belongs to water, so "of" is better. Many thanks. Ant_222 Difference Between
