Math symbol parentheses
# Math symbol parentheses

Parentheses in mathematical equations may refer to:

* Precedence of operators
* Interval
* Matrix
* Arguments in mathematical functions. For example, f(x) is the function f applied to the variable x.
* A set of coordinates in a coordinate system. For example (4,7) may represent the point located at 4 on the x-axis and 7 on the y-axis.
* More generally, a tuple.
* The greatest common divisor of two numbers x and y, sometimes written with the notation (x,y).
* An inner product
* Equivalence class congruence, especially for modular arithmetic or modulo an ideal, e.g. as $({\rm {mod}}~p)$ or $(p)$.
* A higher order derivative in Lagrange's notation.
* A Binomial coefficient or multinomial coefficient.
* A Legendre symbol, Jacobi symbol or Pochhammer symbol.
