# How does one read $\bar{A}$ aloud in Russian?

In English, I would generally read the mathematical notation $\bar{A}$ as "a bar" or "big a bar." What would this be in Russian?

I looked in Glazunova's Russian for Mathematicians, but couldn't find the answer. I found that $\bar{z}$ can be зет сопряженное, but I imagine this is only for when the bar represents conjugation.

Thanks.

Edit: I would like to clarify that I am looking for the most likely ways a mathematician would read this notation where no particular reading is suggested by the context—that is, in cases where the $\bar{\phantom{a}}$ does not represent an operation that has been given a specific name (like conjugation).

• Without any context, correct reading would be "$A$ с надчёркиванием". This is rarely used, though - usually specific term for whatever the bar represents is used. Dec 14, 2015 at 9:31

• «A с чертой» is frequently used (have never heard «A с надчеркиванием» in my life) Dec 14, 2015 at 10:31
