Where can I learn about mathematical notation?

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?

Do you know who Mark Ingram is, by the way, the other one, the famous one? Are you him??? :) –  Jon Beardsley Oct 5 '11 at 14:54

@JBeardz, are you referring to the American Football player? :) –  Mark Ingram Oct 6 '11 at 13:11
:) That's exactly who I'm referring to! I'd love to imagine him sitting on math.stackexchange asking for math help. But don't worry, it's okay if you're not him, –  Jon Beardsley Oct 6 '11 at 15:24

You can check out the following wikipedia web page. It is a list of mathematical symbols and the associated $\LaTeX$ codes.

However I feel that in order for one to be truly accustomed to notation, you should read mathematics and try and figure out the notation as you go along. Gradually after a while you will build up a knowledge base of what certain symbols mean/ which conventions are employed.

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

If you find it useful, please give it a thumbs up on its Facebook page.
