Where did the symbol pi come from?
Pi is a letter in the Greek alphabet. Greek letters are used for many mathematical quantities, especially variables in formulas, such as theta for an angular measurement, and of course pi for the ratio of the diameter to the circumference of a circle. Pi notation was first used by the English mathematician William Jones in 1706. The pi notation was used by Euler as early as 1737. Thereafter, pi became the standard notation for this all-important ratio and transcendental constant.

What is index notation?
In mathematics and computer programming, Index notation is used to specify the elements of an array of numbers. The terms "index notation", or "indicial notation" are sometimes used to refer to Einstein notation. The formalism of how indices are used varies according to the subject. In particular, there are different methods for referring to the elements of a list, a vector, or a matrix, depending on whether one is writing a formal mathematical paper for publication, or when one is writing a computer program. This is not to be confused with "index form" which is the writing of prime factorizations using exponents.
What is standard notation in math?
Based on your abbreviation for mathematics, I guess you are American. American usage of Standard Notation is to mean ordinary numbers - ie a number written normally. It is the opposite of expanded notation whereby the number is written as the sum of its digits each multiplied by its place value column. For example 123.4 is standard notation; in expanded notation it would be written as 100 + 20 + 3 + 0.4 In the UK, Standard Notation is used to mean scientific notation (or standard index notation) which is a number with one non-zero digit before a decimal point multiplied by a power of 10. It is a way of writing ordinary numbers, especially very big or little ones. For example 123.4 is an ordinary number which is 1.234 × 10² in standard notation. By multiplying out the standard notation the ordinary number is retrieved: 1.234 × 10² = 1.234 × 100 = 123.4
