The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.
[5] lg – common logarithm (log 10) or binary logarithm (log 2). LHS – left-hand side of an equation. Li – offset logarithmic integral function. li – logarithmic integral function or linearly independent. lim – limit of a sequence, or of a function. lim inf – limit inferior. lim sup – limit superior. LLN – law of large numbers.
The Latin phrase is attested in a 1501 Euclid translation of Giorgio Valla. [5] Its abbreviation q.e.d. is used once in 1598 by Johannes Praetorius, [6] more in 1643 by Anton Deusing, [7] extensively in 1655 by Isaac Barrow in the form Q.E.D., [8] and subsequently by many post-Renaissance mathematicians and philosophers.

A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.
the false negative rate in statistics ("Type II" error) [8] the beta coefficient, the non-diversifiable risk, of an asset in mathematical finance; the sideslip angle of an airplane; a beta particle (e − or e +) the beta brain wave in brain or cognitive sciences [9] ecliptic latitude in astronomy [10]
Is a subfield of calculus [30] concerned with the study of the rates at which quantities change. It is one of the two traditional divisions of calculus, the other being integral calculus, the study of the area beneath a curve. [31] differential equation Is a mathematical equation that relates some function with its derivatives. In applications ...
Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape, and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations. Originally called infinitesimal calculus or "the calculus of infinitesimals", it has two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus.
