Mathematical notation

Mathematical notation consists of using symbols for representing operations, unspecified numbers, relations, and any other mathematical objects and assembling them into expressions and formulas. Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. For example, the physicist Albert Einstein's formula

    E
    =
    m
    
      c
      
        2
      
    
  

{\displaystyle E=mc^{2}}

is the quantitative representation in mathematical notation of mass–energy equivalence.
