I'm working on a constructed language that borrows concepts from existing languages. Does anyone know if there is a consolidated set of universal symbols out there? I looked at Wikipedia and I noticed that there are various symbols that mean the same thing; such as:
Logic Math Symbols: & and • both mean and, but in basic math • can mean multiplication or in linear algebra • can mean scalar product?
Just from that example, it gets confusing and there are many others that I cannot type here. Has anyone ever tried to create a universal set of mathematical symbols to help make equations and formulas easier to interpret and learn?
EDIT: I couldn't even find a signs or symbols tag. Is there not one appropriate for use?
The ISO has built such a list, although naturally there are disagreements since math uses a lot of domain-specific notation. See ISO 31-11, superseded by ISO 80000-2.
