Math Symbols - Greater Than & Less Than
The greater than > and less than < symbols are familiar to everyone! The two signs are used to show inequality between two numbers. Inequality is defined as an expression which consists of two unequal quantities, with the sign of inequality (> or <) between them; as, the inequality 1 < 2, or 5 > 2. Other symbols used for greater and less than are shown in the table below:

Math Symbols - Solving Problems
Symbols are a vital part of solving math problems and although it is impossible to remember every math symbol, it is important that we are familiar with the symbols used in everyday life. Math symbols are taught to children all over the world, they are a global language regardless of the language spoken.

Math Symbols - Roman Numerals
The Romans used letters from the Latin alphabet for their numeric system. Although an ancient system, Roman numerals are still occasionally used today. Movie credits often use Roman numerals to display the year that the film was made e.g. the year 2013 is displayed as MMXIII (2 x M to represent 1000, 1 x X to represent 10 and 3 x III to represent the number 3). The names of monarchs and popes also use Roman numerals, e.g. Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Francis I. Occasionally Roman numerals are featured on clock faces instead of numbers.

Statistical Math Symbols
Statistics is defined as the branch of applied math which is concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters. Common terms encountered in statistics are Mean, Median and Mode.

Math Symbols - Geometry
Geometry is defined as being the branch of math which investigates the relations, properties, and measurement of solids, surfaces, lines, and angles; the science which treats of the properties and relations of magnitudes; the science of
the relations of space. Common math geometry symbols include:

Greek Math Symbols
The Greek mathematician Pythagoras is described by many as being the first pure mathematician and is famous for his quote "Numbers rule all things". Pythagoras considered the number five to be the symbol of humanity and the number ten represents diving power. Pythagoras is most famous for his theorem which states that in any right-angled triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (side which is opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (two sides that meet at a right angle). His theorem can be written as an equation which relates to the lengths of the sides a, b and c, and is also called the the Pythagorean equation: a^{2 +} b² = c² where c represents the length of the hypotenuse and a and b represent the lengths of the other two sides.

Math Symbols - Formula
A mathematics formula can be defined as a rule or principle which are expressed in algebraic language. A formula is a prescribed or set form; an established rule; a fixed or conventional method in which anything is to be done, arranged, or said. In computing terms, a formula is defined as a logical sequence of symbols which representing terms, predicates, connectives and quantifiers which are either true or false.

Math Symbols - Equations
An equation is an expression of the condition of equality between two algebraic quantities or sets of quantities in math, the sign = is placed between them. Examples include binomial equations; quadratic equations, algebraic equations, transcendental equations, exponential equations, logarithmic equations or differential equations.
