Looking for organisations promoting standard notation in mathematics












5












$begingroup$


Sometimes, I would like—in order to be as coherent and comprehensible as possible in the notation I use—to follow recommendations from some international working group, committee, or organisation devoted to develop and promote standard mathematical language, similar to IUPAC for chemistry or IUPAP for physics.



Do you know if such thing exists for mathematics?

            @balage : True, the standards focus on what might be called applicable mathematics. Researchers in the more abstract realms of mathematics evolve their own standards, and probably don't need an external body to set standards for them.
