\( \subseteq \) | is a subset of |
\( \subset \) | is a proper subset of |
\( \cup \) | Union |
\( \cap \) | Intersection |
\( |a| \) | The absolute value of \( a \) |
\( \neq \) | is not equal to |
acute angle | An angle which has measure between \( 0^\circ \) and \( 90^\circ \). |
obtuse angle | An angle which has measure between \( 90^\circ \) and \( 180^\circ \). |
hypotenuse | The side in a right angle which is opposite to the right angle. |
\( \overline{AB} \) | The length of the line segment \( AB \) |
\( \approx \) | is approximately equal to |
\( \sim \) | is equivalent to |
\( \ln(x) \) | Natural logarithm of \( x \). The logarithm of \( x \) to the base \( e \). |
\( \log(x) \) | Common logarithm of \( x \). The logarithm of \( x \) to the base \( 10 \). |
\( \log_a(x) \) | Logarith of \( x \) to the base \( a \), \( a \ne 1 \), \( a>1\). |
\( \infty \) | Infinity |
\( \alpha \) | The greek letter - alpha |
\( \beta \) | The greek letter - beta |
\( dom(f) \) | The domain of the relation \( f \) |
