Interesting stuff. Actually this would just be a list which I would keep on adding to, I do not intend it to be machine readable at all. The purpose of this is to make non-math programmers less afraid while reading papers with some math symbols sprinkled in it. If a programmer who is not that good at maths can keep up with the paper he is reading by forming a somewhat easier understanding of the paper by having a better understanding of the formulas then it achieves the purpose. Think of it as a cheatsheet for programmers to understand those symbols, nothing more. I do not expect it to be complete with all maths formulae either, maybe 20 most frequently occurring.
