- Difference between ≈, ≃, and ≅ - Mathematics Stack Exchange
In mathematical notation, what are the usage differences between the various approximately-equal signs "≈", "≃", and "≅"? The Unicode standard lists all of them inside the Mathematical Operators B
- What is the meaning of ⊊? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
I have encountered this when referencing subsets and vector subspaces For example, T ⊊ span(S) should mean that T is smaller than span(S)--at least from what I've gathered Is ⊊ a sort of ≤ or lt
- notation - What does ∈ mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
I have started seeing the "∈" symbol in math What exactly does it mean? I have tried googling it but google takes the symbol out of the search
- notation - what does ≼ or ≺ mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The curly versions of the less than and greater than signs are commonly used to denote some other ordering than the one that we are usually talking about For instance there is a partial ordering on the symmetric matrices, where A ≼ B if and only if B − A is a nonnegative definite matrix We write ≼ instead of ≤ to avoid confusion with the ordering that we use more commonly This would
- notation - Whats the difference between ≡ and ≣? - Mathematics . . .
What's the difference between "≡" ("identical to") and "≣" ("strictly equivalent to")? "Strictly equivalent to" ("≣") is UTF character 2263, classified in the
- notation - What does := mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
What does := mean?where we are saying that the two sides are equal, but we are not defining "1" to be the expression " sin2(θ) +cos2(θ) sin 2 (θ) + cos 2 (θ) " Basically, some people think that there should be notational difference between saying "I define blah to be equal to blankety " and saying " blah is equal to blankety " So they use := for the first and = for the latter Usually
- Much less than, what does that mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
What exactly does ≪ ≪ mean? I am familiar that this symbol means much less than but what exactly does "much less than" mean? (Or the corollary, ≫ ≫) On Wikipedia, the example they use is that 1 ≪ 9999999999 1 ≪ 9999999999 But my thought on that is that 10101011 ≪ 10101011 + 9999999999 10 10 10 11 ≪ 10 10 10 11 + 9999999999, based on the same logic But I am confused because
- What is ≡ operator used for in math?
Since your professor was referring to engineering students, then it's likely they were referring to the identity symbol, which is used in an expression to mean the left and right hand sides are true for all values So cos2θ + sin2θ ≡ 1 since it's true for all θ whereas cosθ = 1 since it's true only for some
