§27.1 Special Notation

(For other notation see Notation for the Special Functions.)

d,k,m,n positive integers (unless otherwise indicated).
d\divides n d divides n.
\left(m,n\right) greatest common divisor of m,n. If \left(m,n\right)=1, m and n are called relatively prime, or coprime.
\left(d_{1},\dots,d_{n}\right) greatest common divisor of d_{1},\dots,d_{n}.
\sum_{{d\divides n}}, \prod_{{d\divides n}} sum, product taken over divisors of n.
\sum_{{\left(m,n\right)=1}} sum taken over m, 1\leq m\leq n and m relatively prime to n.
p,p_{1},p_{2},\dots prime numbers (or primes): integers (>1) with only two positive integer divisors, 1 and the number itself.
\sum_{p}, \prod_{p} sum, product extended over all primes.
x,y real numbers.
\sum_{{n\leq x}} \sum_{{n=1}}^{{\left\lfloor x\right\rfloor}}.
\mathop{\mathrm{log}\,\/}\nolimits x natural logarithm of x, written as \mathop{\ln\/}\nolimits x in other chapters.
\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s\right) Riemann zeta function; see §25.2(i).
\mathop{(n|P)\/}\nolimits Jacobi symbol; see §27.9.
\mathop{(n|p)\/}\nolimits Legendre symbol; see §27.9.
