Computer science symbols in LaTeX

16 commands, each with the package it needs

Symbol reference, latexci

Abstract

Asymptotic notation, Boolean logic, floors and ceilings, and complexity classes. None of them needs an extra package. Table 1 lists every symbol of the category with its rendered glyph, the command to type and the package to load; each name links to a page with a worked example, and 2 of them to a note comparing the commands that compile.

1The symbols

Glyph	Command	Package	Page
$\mathcal{O}$	`\mathcal{O}`	none	Big O
$\Omega$	`\Omega`	none	Big Omega
$\Theta$	`\Theta`	none	Big Theta
$o$	`o`	none	Little-o
$\oplus$	`\oplus`	none	XOR Oplus
$\land$	`\land`	none	Logical AND
$\lor$	`\lor`	none	OR
$\neg$	`\neg`	none	NOT
$\mid$	`\mid`	none	Divides
$\lfloor x \rfloor$	`\lfloor x \rfloor`	none	Floor
$\lceil x \rceil$	`\lceil x \rceil`	none	Ceiling
$\top$	`\top`	none	Boolean True
$\bot$	`\bot`	none	Boolean False
$\models$	`\models`	none	Entails
$\mathsf{NP}$	`\mathsf{NP}`	none	Complexity NP
$\mathsf{P}$	`\mathsf{P}`	none	Complexity P

Table 1. Computer science symbols in LaTeX: glyph, command, package (none means built into LaTeX) and the page for each symbol. Commands go inside math mode unless the page says otherwise.

2Other categories

The same table exists for every family of symbols. To find one by name or by pasting the character, use the symbol search.
