   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

   A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

5. Symbols of grouping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_grouping

   The symbol of grouping knows as "braces" has two major uses. If two of these symbols are used, one on the left and the mirror image of it on the right, it almost always indicates a set, as in {,,}, the set containing three members, , , and . But if it is used only on the left, it groups two or more simultaneous equations.

Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics , science , and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise ...

8. Disjoint sets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint_sets

   Disjoint-set data structures [9] and partition refinement [10] are two techniques in computer science for efficiently maintaining partitions of a set subject to, respectively, union operations that merge two sets or refinement operations that split one set into two. A disjoint union may mean one of two things. Most simply, it may mean the union ...
