Math symbology question

Got a unicode point for it? The name might give a clue. Cheers, Peter

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

My kid's algebra homework contains a symbol like an anti-clockwise arrow, sort of the opposite of ↻ (if it'll display). It's mixed in with "rational exponents" and my wife and I have never seen them. We have been unable to figure out what it means and the kid doesn't seem to know. Edit: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/2587207/Math.png[^] Any of the younger folk know what it means?
I am not of the younger folks but I seem to remember that one might represent a 3/2D rotation with a vector adorned with such an arrow. In which the vector axis is the rotation axis and the length / norm is the angle of rotation...

From what I have learned, anti-clockwise moment is indicated with that symbol (along with a '+' or '-' sign). But that's Mechanics (Statics) and I don't recollect anything with that symbol in Algebra.
I ain't got no signature.

Hmmm. That's in a Unicode block of assorted arrows, not the mathematical operators block(s). The plot thickens... Cheers, Peter

He (the kid) was out with a fever for two days.

There should be some explanation at the first point in the book where it is introduced. Or, is there some kind of glossary in the back of the book?

So I would think, but they weren't issued books. :sigh:

I haven't searched, but you could try looking for it in Latex and seeing if that offers any clues via name/documentation etc.

My wife and I both searched. Even Wolfram seemed to just shrug. We wouldn't be surprised to find that it's the wrong symbol. Or some cockamamie new "common core" X| thing.

I thought the same thing. Why not go to the teacher first. :doh:

Crazy. That's probably why QA has so many requests to do homework. :confused:

Sure it's not a printing error? A multiplication sign that is messed up? That would make the most sense to me at least.

Have not found it anywhere though have tried even image search, definitely not standard math symbol. Its either printing error or an individual attempt to map a shaky concept into self created image.

The rational exponents can only simplified if the symbol is a division. If you multiply 12/5 * 3/5 you get 36/25 which cannot be simplified. The other way around 12/5 / 3/5 = 4 makes a lot more sense. Same for the other expression.

This is most likely a Unicode error. I think the "vertically middle dot" was meant to be printed out. Do you have other exercises you could relate to ?

I think that's the "turn around and ask the smart kid hiding in the back row for the answer" symbol.
