One slightly obscure notation is for the evaluated definite integral - square brackets suffixed with the integral range.

Oh, I didn't even notice that. I encounter that notation frequently enough, but it wasn't the one I was taught in high school. Kind of hard to do a web search for its origins. I tried and failed.
I recognized it immediately but each math teacher I had in college used different notation for the definite integral. I really did think it was common. I need to study more math.
