∙ 11y agoA number by itself is meaningless. Symbols and labels add meaning in math. Symbols in math are used to represent different operations, and/or add descriptions. There are many different symbols each which have their own purpose. Some symbols have different purposes in different types of math.

Well in math an expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context. Symbols can designate numbers (constance), variables, operations, functions, and other mathematical symbols, as well as punctuation, symbols of grouping, and other syntactic symbols. The use of expressions can range from the simple: 3 + 5 it is as easy as 1 2 3 but as you get older your math expressions will get harder.

Symbols can get their names from a variety of sources such as their function, appearance, or cultural significance. For example, the "ampersand" symbol (&) comes from a blending of the phrase "and per se and" in Old English, which indicated that "&" represented the word "and." Other symbols may be named after the person who first introduced or popularized them, the language in which they originate, or the context in which they are commonly used.
