TITLE: Where can I learn about mathematical notation?
QUESTION [13 upvotes]: I often see mathematical notation on Wikipedia articles (e.g. Finding the matrix of a transformation). Where is a good resource for learning what the different symbols mean?

REPLY [8 votes]: If you'd like an inexpensive, handy reference to mathematical notation please check out my book available at Amazon:
