ANSI/IEEE Std ANSI/IEEE Std 260.3-1993 American National Standard Mathematical Signs and Symbols for Use in Physical Sciences and Technology -Description

Abstract: Signs and symbols used in writing mathematical text are defined. Special symbols peculiar to certain branches of mathematics, such as non-Euclidean Geometries, Abstract Algebras, Topology, and Mathematics of Finance, which are not ordinarily applied to the physical sciences and engineering, are omitted.

Keywords: letter symbol, mathematical notation, mathematical sign, mathematical symbol, mathematics, operation symbol, quantity symbol, unit symbol
