Notational practices

Notational practices refer to the methods and systems we use to represent ideas, concepts, and knowledge in a recognizable form. This can include symbols, diagrams, mathematical formulas, or even written language. In general knowledge, these practices help us communicate complex information clearly and efficiently. For example, using a flowchart to illustrate a process simplifies understanding, while mathematical notation allows us to express calculations compactly. Essentially, notational practices create a shared understanding of information, making it easier to teach, learn, and communicate across different fields and disciplines.
