This tag is for questions about mathematical terminology and notation in Russian that are not easy to answer with a dictionary. Examples could be (1) how a particular symbol or formula is pronounced and (2) the distinction between a pair of words like отношение and соотношение that have different meanings in Russian but are both translated into English by the same word "relation".
