What do the Symbols (r) and (m) Mean?

In summary, the book is intended for upper level undergraduate students and was based on lectures given in 2004 and 2005. The symbol "r" with a dot above it represents the derivative of r with respect to time, which is velocity. The book can be found at the URL www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/dynamics.htm and is not meant for high school students.

It says right on the webpage:
The notes are based on lectures given to final year undergraduates during the fall of 2004 and 2005.​

It's meant as a text for upper level undergrads, not high school students. (At least not the typical high school student.)

1. What does the (r) symbol mean?

The (r) symbol, also known as the registered trademark symbol, indicates that a particular word, phrase, or logo is a registered trademark of a company or individual.

2. What is the difference between the (r) symbol and the (m) symbol?

The (r) symbol is used to indicate a trademark that has been registered with the government, while the (m) symbol is used for trademarks that are not yet registered but are in the process of being registered.

3. Can anyone use the (r) symbol?

No, the (r) symbol can only be used by the owner of the registered trademark. Using the symbol without proper authorization is considered trademark infringement.

4. What does the (m) symbol mean for a product or brand?

The (m) symbol means that the product or brand is in the process of being registered as a trademark, but it has not yet been officially registered.

5. Is it necessary to use the (r) or (m) symbol for a trademark?

No, it is not necessary to use the (r) or (m) symbol for a trademark. However, using these symbols can provide legal protection and prevent others from using your trademark without permission.
