Note some terms and symbols have different meanings in different contexts. A living language changes over time so legacy (recent history) terms may have different meanings to different people, please add yours. These are only based on what I have come across and understood so I may have been completely wrong, as always corrections and additions most welcome this is a book (community) page so just hit the edit tab and leave a comment on what you fixed.
