Anyone have a good resource on learning mathematical notation?
- mkl 6y agoIf you want to just learn notation and you're starting from scratch and know how to code, the linked article fits that description. However, notation for its own sake is not really something I'd suggest sitting down and learning. If you have some maths you want to learn, the notation will come along with that, so any book or article that introduces the maths you want will also introduce the notation (usually building on some foundation level of existing knowledge, e.g. high school or whatever).
- ImaCake 6y agoI find searching google/ddg to be a good place sometimes. Wikipedia has a list of mathematical symbols I sometimes consult (also includes latex code!) [0]. You could also try Khan Academy videos, which are often helpful. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols
- andrepd 6y agoThere's no such thing as "learning mathematical notation". You learn whatever field you are interested in, and the text you are reading will tell you what the notation is, as "we'll denote multiplication of `a` and `b` by `ab`", "we'll denote `A` implies `B` by `A => B`", "we'll denote derivation of `f` wrt `x` with `df/dx`", etc.
