I don't know about corners, but in mathematical copy, referring to
the right-HAND (or left-hand) side of an equation is standard, to the
point that the abbreviations RHS (and LHS) are widely understood (or
so I was told the first time I queried them).
Presumably this is to make it clear that one is referring to "right"
as in position rather than "right" as in correct -- not that I'd
know whether or not most of the equations I've looked at were
correct or not!

and they return the favor.
