WRT — "With respect to", especially in fields such as Mathematics.
ARSINH — inverse hyperbolic sine function
WALOG — Without Any Loss of Generality
W^5 — which was what we wanted
ARG MIN — argument of the minimum
A.E. — almost everywhere
MAX — Maximum
MIN — Minimum
ARG MAX — argument of the maximum
IID — independent and identically distributed random variables
SUPP — Support
RMS — root mean square (preferred over "RMS")
IFF — If and Only If
DIM — Dimension
QED — quod erat demonstrandum (which was to be proved or demonstrated)
WLOG — Without Loss Of Generality. Mathematical term, and applicable more generally, to justify the use of an isolated case in proving an issue, when the need for wider evidence is not required or is irrelevant and would be a waste of time. (Thanks E Key)
