Background - why math symbols are used. . .

Symbols are a concise way of giving lengthy instructions related to numbers and logic.

Math Symbols are an invention, not a discovery. They are a communication tool. Symbols are used to eliminate the need to write long, plain language instructions to describe calculations and other processes.

Math - Similarity Sign Similarity Sign If two geometric objects have exactly the same shape (although not necessarily the same size), they are similar.

(If the two objects have exactly the same shape, and exactly the same size, they are congruent. Click here to view the Congruent Symbol.)
