(Mostly serial commas, but also some others.)
Change occurrences of:
Let that number be the <var>foo</var>.
to:
Let <var>foo</var> be that number.
because it's weird to have the variable that's being defined
appear *after* the "be".
(In each case, I delete the "the" before the variable,
because subsequent uses of the variable don't use "the".)

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reviewed them all and they look good. Some of the comma insertions seem like matters of taste, but I trust you were acting in the direction of consistency.
Thank you very much!
