Mathematical notation is used in mathematics, and throughout the physical sciences, engineering, and economics.
Early mathematical ideas for counting were represented by collections of rocks, sticks, bone, clay, stone, wood carvings, and knotted ropes.
The wide use of programming languages, which teach their users the need for rigor in the statement of a mathematical expression (or else the compiler will not accept the formula) are all contributing toward a more mathematical viewpoint across all walks of life.
This report presents a discussion of the mathematics character repertoire of the Unicode Standard [Unicode] as used for mathematics, but it is intended that this discussion apply to mathematical notation in general.
Due to limitations of the plain HTML format of this report, examples of mathematicalformulas are shown in larger size than would be typical for a mathematical paper, and their layout, spacing and vertical alignment are merely approximations of the correct appearance.
Mathematical Markup Language (MathML™) [MathML], an XML application [XML], is a major beneficiary of the increased repertoire for mathematical symbols.
