Mathematical notation consists of using symbols for representing operations, unspecified numbers, relations and any other mathematical objects and assembling them into expressions and formulas. The cited article says it is widely used in mathematics, science and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous and accurate way, and that it was first introduced by Francois Viete at the end of the sixteenth century and largely expanded during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Objects recorded in the atlas as notation symbols are grouped under this concept.
