Sigh.  Follow the Three-Foot Rule:  Never be more than an arm's
length from a dictionary when you're writing.

QED = (latin) Quod Erat Demonstrandum.  Literally "which was to be
demonstrated or proved".  Commonly used in math (or logic and
philosophy, I suppose) to indicate that a proof is being taken as
having been previously derived in full, or demonstrated, by someone
else.

I'll probably be flamed for current usage, but it's all right:
My Nomex undies are back from the was, and the heating bill has
been sort of high for a while anyway. :}
