- \ln x — the natural logarithm, also denoted in many sources as \log x.
- Direct trigonometric functions are denoted as \sin x,\,\cos x,\,\tan x,\,\cot x.
- Inverse trigonometric functions are denoted as \arcsin x,\,\arccos x,\,\arctan x,\,\operatorname{arccot}x (and never as \tan^{-1}x, to avoid any confusion with powers).
- Parentheses around the argument is usually omitted if the next term is an integer, named constant, variable, radical, or function name, e.g: \ln2,\,\ln\pi,\,\ln\sqrt{2\pi},\,\ln\sin x,\,\ln\ln x.
- Expressions like \ln2\ln3 should be understood as (\ln(2))\cdot(\ln(3)).
- Expressions like \ln^53,\,\sin^2x should be understood as (\ln(2))^5,\,(\sin(x))^2.
- \zeta(x) — the Riemann zeta function.
- \zeta_3,\,\zeta_5,\, etc. — values of \zeta(x) for odd positive integer arguments. Values at even arguments are always expanded in terms of \pi.
