Example usage I've seen: $x^2 / (y // z)$
Context: I recently started learning some fundamental electrical engineering, where I saw
I calculated the power doing $vs² / (r1 + ron + ron // ron+r2)$

In an electrical engineering context, I would guess that $a // b$ probably means the equivalent single resistance for 2 resistors in parallel of size $a$ and $b$, which is $\frac{ab}{a+b}$. |

pythonprogram, the//operator would mean to divide then round down to the nearest integer. e.g.3//2 == 1. – Hurkyl Mar 31 '12 at 9:05
