German term

wie eben

German to English Science Mathematics & Statistics
What does this mean in this context? It's in a research maths paper (about solutions to systems of inequalities) from 1956. The context (with simplified symbols) is this ("Wie eben" begins the 2nd sentence):
Daher ist (Pi r) extremer Strahl von C0, so dass also ein rv (v=1, ...,s) mit (Pi rv) = (Pi r) existiert, d.h. r^=frv+1 mit f>0 und l L. Wie eben lässt sich l in der Form l=bl0+i^ mit reellem b und l^ L^ schreiben. Also ist r^=frv+bl0+l^. Aus a'r=0 und f>0 folgt dann, dass r^=Pi^r^ denselben Strahl in C^0 erzeugt wie Pi^((a'l0)r0-(a'rv)l0), w.z.b.w.

(w.z.b.w. is the equivalent of QED)

(I've written to represent the symbol for set membership, that looks a bit like a rounded version of the letter E.)

I think "wie eben" might be equivalent to "just as" or perhaps "in the same way" but I'm sure I'm not sure! Thanks if you know.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

was there another mathematical equation being described before this one? That's what is sounds like to me, so it would be saying - "as in the previous example", or "just as before", "just as was shown above".....

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Susie and all the "agrees". I think I'll use "as above", or possibly one of the other suggestions when I've finished this part of the paper and then read my English version."
