I understand math, but I can't read mathematical symbols. Does anyone know a good website/book for applying and understanding mathematical symbols?



Sorry, what exactly does that mean? Can you give some examples?


Well I learned to read math the 'computer' way. So here two examples of 'Math' vs 'Computer'

  ≠ -> !=
  √ -> sqrt


Ah. Well, its not like your missing or unable to follow a fundamental concept, you just use different symbols. A bit of practice with reading things the "math way" and you'll be fine.
