Are you going to let me drive or not Since this is a mathematically formal usage, i think that would be preferred, but i don't think any of the phrases you presented are wrong, and let a be a set, b a group, and c a number. is shorter and more succinct What is the origin of the phrase the beatings will continue until morale improves

There is a metafilter and a quora out on it, but they are inconclusive, and the phrase does not appear in the
Let normally occurs with a clause of some sort as complement, and passive is unlikely with a clausal object
Bill wants me to come to the party would be passivized to *for me to come to the party is wanted by bill, which is hardly an improvement So let doesn't normally passivize. I notice that let alone is used in sentences that have a comma The structure of the sentence is what comes before the comma is some kind of negative statement
Right after the comma is let alon. Let’s is the english cohortative word, meaning “let us” in an exhortation of the group including the speaker to do something Lets is the third person singular present tense form of the verb let meaning to permit or allow In the questioner’s examples, the sentence means to say “product (allows/permits you to) do something awesome”, so the form with lets is correct.
Many people use let, let's and lets in conversation what's the difference between them?
Let us go/let us pray is a special verb construction of the type let, imperative+us,accusative+bare infinitive The speaker makes a suggestion and includes himself. To see how something (someone) fares, or fairs Which is the correct one to use in this expression
And what is the etymology, or history behind the expression? The author has taken the (correct) 'don't go there', which is a correctly formed second person imperative, and turned it into a verb, and the let's is turned into an injunction for us to don't go there. I think that let a be a set, let b be a group, and let c be a number. is the most formal phrasing
