s.t. – such that or so that or subject to. st – standard part function. STP – [it is] sufficient to prove. SU – special unitary group. sup – supremum of a set. [1] (Also written as lub, which stands for least upper bound.) supp – support of a function. swish – swish function, an activation function in data analysis.
A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...
List of letters used in mathematics, science, and engineering. Latin and Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities.
The standard deviation of a random variable, sample, statistical population, data set, or probability distribution is the square root of its variance. It is algebraically simpler, though in practice less robust, than the average absolute deviation.
Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.

G {\displaystyle G} electrical conductance. siemens (S) universal gravitational constant. newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2 ) shear modulus. pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2 ) g {\displaystyle \mathbf {g} } acceleration due to gravity.
mathematics for two strong epistemological reasons: mathematics plays an essential role in conceptualizing the real world and mathematics makes a wide use of homeomorphisms, in which reduction of structures to one another is essential. Regarding the importance of role of representations for the teaching and learning of
