There is some concept of scope in math. At a fairly early level, a student learns sums and integrals. The variable of integration/summation's scope is just within the integral/sum. At a higher level, some things have scope equal to a subfield of mathematics. A gothic p, for example, represents a prime ideal in algebraic number theory. It represents a parabolic Lie algebra in Lie theory. (Actually this causes problems when you're doing Lie theory and number theory at the same time.) |
