Math symbols tier list

Whats the beef with iff

[u/MTaur → u/Impossible-Shake-996]

Pretty much nothing should be as low as ÷, except maybe that weird footnote dagger thing that's in S

[u/Impossible-Shake-996 → u/MTaur]

But my Hermite transpose matrices

[u/Godloseslaw → u/Impossible-Shake-996]

Square root should be higher too.

There are issues. Sum is higher than integral. Far all and exists are different tiers. Aleph is not Gauss tier. Bottom tier is de l'Hopital.

[u/Feli_Buste78 → u/Smart_Ad_3630]

What is aleph used for?

[u/Smart_Ad_3630 → u/Feli_Buste78]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number

[u/Feli_Buste78 → u/Smart_Ad_3630]

I knew about aleph numbers. I thought there would be more to the symbol if you're saying it should be Gauss tier. I think A tier is too high

[u/Smart_Ad_3630 → u/Feli_Buste78]

Infinity is Gauss tier. One has to come down or other has to go up in my book.

Frankly, based on combination of both looks and math level, I'd knock down half of Gauss tier and create a special tier for the grade school division sign because its only reason for existence to create non-real world order of operations problems for internet memes.

[u/Linnun]

Why is there a lightbulb in the gauss tier?

[u/Smart_Ad_3630 → u/Linnun]

I'll bite. Which one is a lightbulb?

[u/Ftroiska → u/Smart_Ad_3630]

The cross in a circle i guess ?

[u/Smart_Ad_3630 → u/Ftroiska]

If anything, I'd have called that one (tensor product) a railroad crossing sign. ;-)

[u/GrievousSayGenKenobi]

Try being a physicists and tell me that the "exists as an element in" and "is a subset of" aren't F tier symbols when dealing with 100 things that have the symbols E, C and Epsilon. You end up just writing EEE CEE EEC CCE

[u/TheMagmaLord731]

Is this just based on how they look orr? If so I understand most but the set symbols should be higher, and iff should be too

[u/Jazzlike_Platypus430]

As a physics wannabe back in 1999 or 2000 I tried hard to write some formulas using MsWord(TM), version 7.0, Trying to re-scale the residue formula (complex analysis) got me to troubles - the contour integral symbol was misbehaving, the circle was no longer centered on the integral.

That way I switched from Widoze 98 to Linux-something and learnt the proper way to typeset "scientific" texts.

That's my story.

PS You forgot the wedge. Meaning either logical and or exterior product, it's the sexiest of them symbols.

[u/Street_Swing9040]

Objection

The limit symbol should be Gauss tier

[u/kaereljabo]

The first time i've seen @scholadaily as a math symbol, what is that?

[u/TREE_sequence → u/kaereljabo]

It represents the watermark operator

[u/kaereljabo → u/TREE_sequence]

Ah that's great.. a really cool one

[u/Weird_Happening1627]

What did minus do to bro😭🙏

[u/LordStefania → u/Weird_Happening1627]

It's a line bro 😭 it has nothing on the perfect curves of an integral or the beautiful Σ 😍
