 Mathematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using symbolic logic and mathematical notation; other views are described in the article on the philosophy of mathematics.
Although mathematics itself is not usually considered a natural science, the specific structures that are investigated by mathematicians often have their origin in the natural sciences, most commonly in physics.
Mathematics is not physics, despite the number of historical and philosophical relations between the two.

 Del - Wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In vector calculus, del is a vector differential operator represented by the symbol \nabla.
The name of this symbol is the nabla, after a Hebrew stringed instrument with a similar shape, and so the operator is also called the nabla operator.
The symbol was introduced by William Rowan Hamilton, and is sometimes called nabla, after the ancient Hebrew instrument which the shape resembles.

In vector calculus, del is a vector differential operator represented by the symbol ∇.
This symbol is sometimes called the nabla operator, after the Greek word for a kind of harp with a similar shape (with related words in Aramaic and Hebrew).
In differential geometry, the nabla symbol is also used to refer to a connection.

Mathematics (often abbreviated to math or, in British English, maths) is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space.
In the modern view, mathematics is usually considered the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using formal logic as the common or foundational framework.
In general the philosophy of mathematics one adopts has little effect on mathematical practice: mathematicians all over the world can rely on mathematics as a language even if there are arguments about the meaning or reliability of certain constructs or "words" or "phrases" used in any given "sentence".

 Plus and minus signs - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The − may be derived from a tilde written over m when used to indicate subtraction; or it may come from a shorthand version of the letter m itself.
According to the Earliest Uses of Various Mathematical Symbols (http://members.aol.com/jeff570/operation.html) website, a book published by Henricus Grammateus in 1518 is the earliest found to use + and - for addition and subtraction.
The usual explanation for the practice is that it avoids the writing of a symbol "+" that looks like a Christian cross.

 Mathematical Symbols
This symbol (on the left) for right angle was used as early as 1698 by Samuel Reyher, who symbolized "angle B is a right angle" as illustrated on the right, using the vertical line for equality.
This symbol for pi was used by Oughtred in an expression to represent the ratio of the diameter to the circumference.
The symbols of elementary arithmetic are almost wholly algebraic, most of them being transferred to the numerical field only in the 19th century, partly to aid the printer in setting up a page and partly because of the educational fashion then dominant of demanding a written analysis for every problem.

 Average - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In mathematics, an average or central tendency of a set (list) of data refers to a measure of the "middle" of the data set.
The most common method, and the one generally referred to simply as the average, is the arithmetic mean.

 Mathematical notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathematical notation is used in mathematics, and throughout the physical sciences, engineering, and economics.
The notation uses symbols or symbolic expressions which are intended to have a precise semantic meaning.
For example, if the symbols represent numbers, the expressions are evaluated according to a conventional order of operations which provides for calculation, if possible, of any expressions within parentheses, followed by any multiplications and divisions done from left to right, finally any additions or subtractions done from left to right.

 More on Mathematical Notation
Mathematical expressions are evaluated according to a conventional order of operation which provides for calculation, if possible, of any expressions within parentheses, followed by any multiplications and divisions done from left to right, finally any additions or subtractions done from left to right.
However, some symbolic shortcuts for mathematical concepts came to be used in the publication of geometric proofs, for example.
There is a part of mathematics which is not algebraic, but which seems to use a different faculty of the mind.

DotsPlus is a device-independent typeface developed for blind readers that intends to encompass a large set of symbols in addition to standard braille.
In DotsPlus, literary braille symbols are used where possible, along with the raised representations of symbols not normally encompassed by braille, such as many mathematics and punctuation symbols, so the reader does not need to be familiar with math braille or computer braille codes.
