In continuation of this question, Should one capitalize the first letter after an equation which is not at the end of a sentence?

For instance in the following example, should the second 'the' be capitalized?

In the equation:

z = x+y,

the symbol z represents the last number.

Best Answer

No.

Particularly if it's following a comma because you're not indicating the end of a sentence. If the equation ends in a full point, yes capitalise it.
