The symbol union , used for the union of sets, and, sometimes, also for the logical connective OR instead of the symbol v (vee). In fact, for any two sets A and B x in A ...

The set difference A\B is defined by A\B={x:x in A and x not in B}. Here, the backslash symbol is defined as Unicode U+2216. The set difference is therefore equivalent to the ...

A pair of overdots placed over a symbol, as in x^.., most commonly used to denote a second derivative with respect to time, i.e., x^..=d^2x/dt^2.

5((x^5)_infty^5)/((x)_infty^6)=sum_(m=0)^inftyP(5m+4)x^m, where (x)_infty is a q-Pochhammer symbol and P(n) is the partition function P.

A unit of angular measure equal to 60 arc seconds, or 1/60 of a degree. The arc minute is denoted ^' (not to be confused with the symbol for feet).

If (1-z)^(a+b-c)_2F_1(2a,2b;2c;z)=sum_(n=0)^inftya_nz^n, then where (a)_n is a Pochhammer symbol and _2F_1(a,b;c;z) is a hypergeometric function.

The symbol | most commonly used to denote the adjoint operator. The dagger is also known as the obelisk, obelus, or long cross (Bringhurst 1997, p. 275).

The symbol | which is not used very commonly in mathematics. The double dagger is also known as the double obelisk or diesis (Bringhurst 1997, p. 275).

The primes with Legendre symbol (n/p)=1 (less than N=pi(d) for trial divisor d) which need be considered when using the quadratic sieve factorization method.

The number sign # sometimes used in mathematics to indicate the number of a quantity satisfying some condition, e.g., #{n:n>1}. The symbol is also used to denote a primorial.
