Sorry, I thought I was being obvious.
When you write cosu.U, it can be taken either as
cos(u.U) or cos(u)U.  Writing as Ucosu removes
the ambiguity, mostly, but it's probably best to
use parentheses.  Remember PEMDAS: evaluate
what's inside parentheses first, then exponents,
then multiplication, division, addition then
subtraction.  The mnemonic is Please Excuse My
Dear Aunt Sally.
