==Jacques Lacan==
[[Jacques Lacan]] begins to use [[algebraic]] [[symbol]]s in 1955 -- in an attempt to [[formalise]] [[psychoanalysis]].
===Formalization of Psychoanalysis===
:Rather than being understood in an intuitive way, the [[algebraic]] [[symbols]] are to be used, manipulated and read in various different ways.<ref>{{E}} p.313</ref>
--- The [[algebraic]] [[symbol]]s used by [[Lacan]], which appear principally in the [[matheme]]s, [[schema l]] and the [[graph ==List of desire]], are listed below, together with their most common [[meaning]].  However, it is important to remember that the [[symbol]]s do not always refer to the same concept throughout [[Lacan]]'s work, but are used in different ways as his work develops.  Even other [[symbol]]s which are relatively stable in [[meaning]] are occasionally used in very different ways. Therefore some caution should be exercised when referring to the following list of equivalences.   -- The typographic details and diacritics are extremely important in [[Lacan]]ian [[algebra]].Algebraic Symbols==
The [[algebraic]] [[symbol]]s used by [[Lacan]] appear principally in the [[matheme]]s, [[schema l]] and the [[graph of desire]].
The difference between upper- and lower-case It is important to remember that the [[symbol]]s, do not always refer to the difference between italicised and non-italicised same concept throughout [[symbolLacan]]'swork, the use of the apostrophe, the minus [[sign]], and subscripts; all these details play their part but are used in the [[algebraic]] systemdifferent ways as his work develops.
For example the upper-case letters usually refer to the ''[[symbolicList of Algebraic Symbols]] [[order]], whereas the lower-case letters usually refer to the [[imaginary]]. ''
The use of the [[bar]] is also important.
