Overview
ISO 80000-2:2009 gives general information about mathematical signs and symbols, their meanings, verbal equivalents and application. The recommendations in ISO 80000-2 are directed mainly at the natural sciences and technology, but can also apply to other areas where mathematics is used. This first edition of ISO 80000-2 cancels and replaces ISO 31-11:1992. The text of ISO 80000-2:2009 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 12 "Quantities and units" (secretariat: SIS, Sweden) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and has been taken over as EN ISO 80000-2:2013 by the CEN Technical Steering Committee (BT). Working Group NA 152-01-02-01 AK "Mathematische Begriffe und Zeichen" ("Mathematical concepts and symbols") is responsible on the national level.
