then

+ or > means {1, 2, 3, ...} . means {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} .

Then [2] = {…, −8, −3, 2, 7, …}.

(Note that the notation (a,b) is ambiguous: it could be an ordered pair or an open interval. Set theorists and computer scientists often use angle brackets ⟨ ⟩ instead of parentheses.)

(a, b, c) is an ordered triple (or 3-tuple).

( ) is the empty tuple (or 0-tuple).

(Note that the notation (a,b) is ambiguous: it could be an ordered pair or an open interval. The notation ]a,b[ can be used instead.)

(0, +∞) equals the set of positive real numbers.

we can define the structure functions Sq(τ):

Note that the notationuvmay be ambiguous: it could mean the inner product or the linear span.

The span of S may also be written as Sp(S).

(The notation (a,b) is often used as well.)

$\langle a, b, c \rangle$ is an ordered triple (or 3-tuple).

$\langle \rangle$ is the empty tuple (or 0-tuple).

The contour integral can also frequently be found with a subscript capital letter C, ∮C, denoting that a closed loop integral is, in fact, around a contour C, or sometimes dually appropriately, a circle C. In representations of Gauss's Law, a subscript capital S, ∮S, is used to denote that the integration is over a closed surface.
