Math Symbols on MacOS
• 1 min read

I've been studying discrete math and I've never used math symbols that much in my life, at least using computers. This is a very short article on how I use math symbols on MacOS.
- type
control
+cmd
+Space
(or⌃
+⌘
+Space
) - search for the math symbol
- click
enter
Video example on how I do it:
Symbols Table
A table for the symbols and how you can search for the them.
What to search for | Symbol |
---|---|
double-struck capital z |
ℤ |
element of |
∈ |
subset of or equal to |
⊆ |
neither a subset of nor equal to |
⊈ |
right tack |
⊢ |
for all |
∀ |
lamda |
λ |
Or go to the System Preferences on the Keyboard section and check the Show input menu in menu bar
.
Now you can show it while typing in your keyboard. So if you need to type π (pi), you can click ⌥
(Option) and see all the possibilities in the keyboard viewer.
