 Here are some common symbols used in calculus and analysis:

 

Basic Operations:

  • “+” : Addition
  • “-” : Subtraction
  • “×” : Multiplication
  • “÷” : Division

Powers and Exponents:

  • “∛” : Cube Root (e.g., ∛x represents the cube root of x)

Limits:

  • “lim” : Limit (e.g., lim(x → a) f(x) represents the limit of f(x) as x approaches a)

Set Notation:

  • “∈” : Element of (e.g., x ∈ A means x is an element of set A)
  • “∉” : Not an element of (e.g., x ∉ A means x is not an element of set A)
  • “⊆” : Subset of (e.g., A ⊆ B means set A is a subset of set B)

Other Notations:

  • “!” : Factorial (e.g., n! represents the factorial of n)

These symbols are fundamental tools for expressing mathematical concepts and operations in calculus and analysis.
