How to include a list of symbols?
0
Is there a special way, a standard way to include a list of symbols in a LaTeX document:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{algorithm}
usepackage{algpseudocode}
I have a few possibly ambiguous symbols, like the odot which would benefit from a definition.
I mean something like you might have at the start of a linear algebra book: $odot$ – Hadamard product, ...
symbols

To make that you only have to make achapter*{List of Symbols}and a table in it.

This has nothing to do with the algorithms etc. You may useglossariesornomenclto generate a list of symbols.
