About This Item
TS EN ISO 80000-2 is Part 2 of the Quantities and units series and deals with the mathematical symbols used to express quantities, their meanings, and the corresponding verbal forms. It provides a common technical language for reading and writing mathematical notation consistently, mainly for the natural sciences and technology, while also being applicable wherever mathematics is used.
A common language for mathematical notation
In general technical practice, mathematical symbols are used to express quantities, operations, relations, and structures in a compact and precise way. When the same symbol is interpreted differently across disciplines, confusion can arise in calculation, measurement, and documentation. The subject of this standard is to align the meanings and verbal equivalents of such symbols so that technical texts remain consistent and unambiguous.
What this part is useful for
- Clarifies the meanings of mathematical symbols in a harmonised way.
- Provides verbal equivalents and application context for notation.
- Supports common terminology across the natural sciences, technology, and other mathematics-based fields.
- Helps mathematical expression remain clearer and more consistent in technical documents.
Accordingly, this standard is better understood as a notation and terminology reference than as a calculation method. It helps authors and users present the same mathematical ideas in the same way, reducing interpretation differences in teaching, research, engineering documentation, and similar uses.
