2.1Notation
Mathematics is, of course, a vast subject, and so here we concentrate on those mathematical methods and relationships that are most often applied in the physical sciences and engineering.
Although there is a high degree of consistency in accepted mathematical notation, there is some variation. For example the spherical harmonics, Ylm, can be written Ylm, and there is some freedom with their signs. In general, the conventions chosen here follow common practice as closely as possible, whilst maintaining consistency with the rest of the handbook.

aTerms are implicitly summed over repeated su ces; hence aikbkj equals bSee also Equation (2.85).
cOr “Hermitian conjugate matrix.” The term “adjoint” is used in quantum physics for the transpose conjugate of a matrix and in linear algebra for the transpose matrix of its cofactors. These definitions are not compatible, but both are widely used [cf. Equation (2.80)].
dHermitian matrices must also be square (see next table).

aAngles are in the right-handed sense for rotation of axes, or the left-handed sense for rotation of vectors. i.e., a vector v is given a right-handed rotation of θ about the x3-axis using R3(−θ)v → v . Conventionally, x1 ≡ x, x2 ≡ y, and x3 ≡ z.
