Extract

All teachers of mathematics are aware of variations both in notation and definitions between different books; in addition, the conventions used in science often differ from those used in mathematics. Readers may have seen the Royal Society booklet Quantities, units and symbols and the report SI units, signs, symbols and abbreviations issued by the Association for Science Education. A sub-committee of the Mathematical Association’s Teaching Committee has been studying this subject with the aid of examples and proposals submitted by members.
