Description / Abstract:
Only signs and symbols used in writing mathematical text are
contained in this Standard. Special symbols peculiar to certain
branches of mathematics, such as non-Euclidean Geometries, Abstract
Algebras, Topology, and Mathematics of Finance, which are not
ordinarily applied to the physical sciences and engineering, have
been omitted. Because there is no consensus in the literature for
signs and symbols used in tensor analysis, the subject of tensors
is relegated to future editions when there is general agreement
among authorities in the field.
