Expression Status Meanings See also
[ilmath]p[/ilmath] current Prime numbers, projective functions (along with [ilmath]\pi[/ilmath]), vector points (typically [ilmath]p,q,r[/ilmath]), representing rational numbers as [ilmath]\frac{p}{q} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]P[/ilmath] dangerous Sometimes used for probability measures, the notation [ilmath]\mathbb{P} [/ilmath] is recommended for these.
[ilmath]\mathbb{P} [/ilmath] current See P (notation) for more information. Typically:

TODO: Find refs


[ilmath]\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath] current Power set, I have seen no other meaning for [ilmath]\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath] (where [ilmath]X[/ilmath] is a set) however I have seen the notation:
  • [ilmath]2^X:=\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath] used to denote powerset
