	Mathematical notation - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mathematical notation is used in mathematics, and throughout the physical sciences, engineering, and economics.
		After the rise of Boolean algebra and the development of positional notation, it became possible to mechanize simple circuits for counting, first by mechanical means, such as gears and rods, using rotation and translation to represent changes of state, then by electical means, using changes in voltage and current to represent the analogs of quantity.
		The wide use of programming languages, which teach their users the need for rigor in the statement of a mathematical expression (or else the compiler will not accept the formula) are all contributing toward a more mathematical viewpoint across all walks of life.

	MSN Encarta - Scientific Notation
		As its name suggests, scientific notation is commonly used by scientists, who often deal with numbers so large or so small that it would be inconvenient to write out the numbers and difficult to read them once written.
		Scientific notation is written as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a specific power of 10.
		The number 3 in this notation is an exponent and indicates the number of times 10 should be multiplied by itself.

		Bra-ket notation is the standard notation for describing quantum states in the theory of quantum mechanics.
		The notation was invented by Paul Dirac, and is also known as Dirac notation.
		The notation is justified by the Riesz representation theorem, which states that a Hilbert space and its dual space are isometrically isomorphic.

	Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Notation
		English Algebraic notation is based upon assigning numbers to the 8 ranks (rows) and lower case letters to the 8 files (columns) on the board.
		In English Algebraic notation no letter is used for the pawns, which instead generally are referred to simply by the file letter from which the pawn is advanced.
		A move by a piece not involving a capture is noted by using the upper case/capitalized letter assigned to the piece followed by the lower case letter of the file and the number of the rank of the square to which the piece is moved.

	Summation and Product Notation
		For instance, here is the summation notation to represent the sum of the first 10 positive integers, the first sum described on this page.
		To expand this summation notation, that is, to determine the set of addends that we are to sum, we replace any occurance of the dummy variable in the addend representation with the lower limit of the index variable.
		The only difference is that we use product notation to express patterns in products, that is, when the factors in a product can be represented by some pattern.

	Mathematical Notation: Past and Future
		By the way, even though math notation hadn't gotten going very well by their time, the kind of symbolic notation used in alchemy, astrology, and music pretty much had been developed.
		Actually, he thought that having the right notation was somehow the secret to a lot of issues of human affairs in general.
		In particular, it emphasized using notation whenever one could, and somehow minimizing the amount of potentially imprecise text that had to be written.

	Music notation: an issue of purpose and use in traditional music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The western art music notation (staff notation) has been quite a stable and generic system for notation since the 17th century, with its origins in the horizontal line system of the 9th or 10th century.
		The main alternatives are alphabetical notation, numerical notation, graphic or numeric tablature and tonic sol-fa [3].
		His notation also preserves more of his performance, as the numbers indicate what fingers he used and the location of the number indicates which one of the four strings of the fiddle he used, and other graphical elements of the notation indicated the stroke of the bow [6].

	musical notation on Encyclopedia.com
		Mensural notation, in which each note has a specific time value, became a necessity with the development of polyphony.
		The advent of aleatory music has produced notation systems, varying from piece to piece, indicating only approximate pitch, duration, and dynamic relations.
		Notation for electronic music is still not standardized but generally uses traditional reference symbols (staff and clef signs) in conjunction with specially adapted pitch and rhythm notation.

	Swar lippi, Indian Musical Notation
		Modern musical notation may be said to have begun with Vishnu Digambar Paluskar at the turn of the 20th century.
		Unfortunately, the use of staff notation distorts the music by implying things that were never meant to be implied.
		Staff notation is not the only approach to the internationalization of North Indian music, simply writing in Roman script is the another approach.

	Lesson 1-6 Scientific Notation
		Scientific notation is simply a method for expressing, and working with, very large or very small numbers.
		Numbers in scientific notation are made up of three parts: the coefficient, the base and the exponent.
		Remember that correct scientific notation has a coefficient that is less than 10, but greater than or equal to one.

	Prefix, Postfix, & Infix Notation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In infix notation, the operation symbol is written between the two operands.
		Because the infix notation for the basic arithmetic and logical operations have been commonly used in ordinary mathematics, this notation has been widely adopted in programming languages.
		In prefix notation, the operator, precedes (comes before) the operands hence it is called prefix notation.

	International standard date and time notation
		The time notation described here is already the de-facto standard in almost all countries and the date notation is becoming increasingly popular.
		In some applications, a date notation is preferred that uses only the year and the day of the year between 001 and 365 (366 in leap years).
		The ISO 8601 notation is today the commonly recommended format of representing date and time as human-readable strings in new plain-text communication protocols and file formats.

		The documentary record shows guqin notation to have been remarkably stable for at least 800 years.
		Throughout its known history guqin notation has been a form of tablature, that is to say it gives fingering instructions but does not directly indicate what notes are to be played.
		Each note was given two sentences on the lines of, "with the ring finger stopping the second string at the tenth inlay, the middle finger plucks the second string inwards." The first sentence always referred to the left hand, and the second to the right.

	Notation Software Support Forum: A few newbie questions about this software
		However, there are many notation software programs that have the feature of importing MIDI files and converting the MIDI to notation.
		In many ways, these other programs are better than MidiNotate because after you convert the MIDI to notation, you can then edit the notation, and in some cases, to a lesser extent, you can also tweak the MIDI in these other programs.
		If the other program is a music notation program, and the author used that other music notation to create the MIDI file, then the score produced by that other music notation program will be the definitive score.

		At some point in your career you will be asked to write a program that can interpret an expression in a notation similar to that of algebra.
		It turns out to be surprisingly easy if the program is decomposed into two steps: translation to postfix notation and evaluation of the postfix notation expression.
		Postfix notation is a way of writing algebraic expressions without the use of parentheses or rules of operator precedence.

	My Funny Notation
		In order to be able to describe pieces which are made up of various combinations of the basic geometrical moves, I have had to develop a strange-looking notation.
		There was never any notation for a move that can go from e4 to c5 or g5 and nowhere else, but I think it would be "fsN" -- the sideways part of the forward motion of the Knight.
		Imagine a piece that moves one square diagonally, and if that square is empty it can continue by jumping two squares diagonally in the same direction, and then three squares (like a Bishop that goes faster and faster!).
