I sometimes encounter strange mathematical syntax like ${}_n\complement_k$ for $n\choose k$, or $x^{\bar k}$ which is defined as $\Gamma(x+k)/\Gamma(x)$.

Is there any good resource where one can look for mathematical syntax and get a brief explanation? (Except asking on math.SE, of course :).

    "in a paper where the author sees no reason to include a syntax definition." - one way around that is to look at the paper's references, which hopefully might be a bit more forthcoming with explaining the notation...2011-09-13

I think here you can find a considerable list of math symbols with short (very succinct, actually) descriptions
