Yes
That explains a lot then
(3/2) means \[3\div2\] or 3 over 2, or 1.5
(3/2)= means 3 divided by 2 equals.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I mean the symbol LOL|dw:1386981982503:dw|
That is an equals sign with a n extra line on the bottom of it.
it means is equivalent to or congruent to
^
It means "is the same as" instead of "is equal to"
Here is a web page that defines quite a few mathematical symbols that you may find helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols
Isn't what what the regular equals sign means though? = vs ≡?
≡ ---> The SAME As = ----> Equal To - For example - X = 2 - Means X Is EQUAL To 2 - BUT ONLY In this case - Not necessarily for other cases- Whereas X ≡ 2 Means that It Is ALWAYS the case - By definition -
