Its $\LaTeX$ code is \mathrm {q} .

Set of Rational Numbers

$\Q$

The set of rational numbers.


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\Q\) is \Q  or \mathbb Q or \Bbb Q.


Set of Non-Zero Rational Numbers

$\Q_{\ne 0}$

The set of non-zero rational numbers:

$\Q_{\ne 0} = \Q \setminus \left\{{0}\right\}$


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\Q_{\ne 0}\) is \Q_{\ne 0}  or \mathbb Q_{\ne 0} or \Bbb Q_{\ne 0}.


Set of Non-Negative Rational Numbers

$\Q_{\ge 0}$

The set of non-negative rational numbers:

$\Q_{\ge 0} = \set {x \in \Q: x \ge 0}$


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\Q_{\ge 0}\) is \Q_{\ge 0}  or \mathbb Q_{\ge 0} or \Bbb Q_{\ge 0}.


Set of Strictly Positive Rational Numbers

$\Q_{> 0}$

The set of strictly positive rational numbers:

$\Q_{> 0} = \set {x \in \Q: x > 0}$


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\Q_{> 0}\) is \Q_{> 0}  or \mathbb Q_{> 0} or \Bbb Q_{> 0}.


Probability

$q$

Used in conjunction with the general probability $p$:

$q = 1 - p$

As such, $q$ is a real number such that:

$0 \le q \le 1$

and

$p + q = 1$


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(q\) is q .


Quotient Mapping

$q_\RR$

The quotient mapping induced by $\RR$:

$q_\RR: S \to S / \RR: \map {q_\RR} s = \eqclass s {\RR}$

where:

$\RR \subseteq S \times S$ be an equivalence relation on a set $S$
$\eqclass s \RR$ is the $\RR$-equivalence class of $s$
$S / \RR$ is the quotient set of $S$ determined by $\RR$.


Also known as:

the canonical surjection from $S$ to $S / \RR$
the canonical map or canonical projection from $S$ onto $S / \RR$
the natural mapping from $S$ to $S / \RR$
the natural surjection from $S$ to $S / \RR$
the classifying map or classifying mapping (as it classifies the elements of $S$ into those various equivalence classes)
the projection from $S$ to $S / \RR$


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(q_\RR: S \to S / \RR\) is q_\RR: S \to S / \RR .


Electric Charge

$q$


The usual symbol used to denote the electric charge on a body is $q$.


Its $\LaTeX$ code is q .
