I suggest you (a) use symbols -- say, P
, Q
, and R
-- for some of the repeated terms and (b) replace all \left
and \right
directives with non-autosizing alternatives. And, do use [...]^{1/2}
notation for the really large square-root term. Last (and definitely least) I'd replace \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}
with \sqrt{1.5}
.
