This table is a result of the cooperation between IZUM and the Mathematical Library of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of The University of Ljubljana. For assistance in solving mathematical and other symbols in the form recorded in field 200, and according to LaTeX principles in fields 330, 539 and 610, consult employees of the above mentioned library.
While searching by phrases, signs < > [ ] = are not used.
200 | 0⊔ | ax [sub] i=a(i+1) [sup] 2 |
539 | 0⊔ | a▫$x_i=a(i+1)^2$▫ |

While searching by words, signs/punctuation marks, designated for separating words within the search query, are not used: , . : ; ? ! / \ ( ) { } + – * & % $ #
Also while searching by phrase, the above mentioned signs < > [ ] = are not used.
