While reading mathematics in German, I came upon the phrase "derart, dass." Does this mean something along the lines of "such that," and if so, does it differ from "so, dass?"

c.p.

  • Please do not capitalise German words just because they appear in heading. Capitalisation has a grammatical function in German. – Carsten S Jun 26 '17 at 18:27

Yes, "derart, dass" means the same as "so dass", namely "such that". "So, dass" is more common, though. There is also "dergestalt, dass", which means the same, but is even rarer.
