Which notation are you unfamiliar with? I'll just take a stab at it now and assume you haven't seen [itex]\lfloor x \rfloor[/itex] before; these brackets represent the "floor function" which rounds down to the nearest integer.

For example
[tex]\lfloor 1.2 \rfloor = 1[/tex]
[tex]\lfloor 0.999 \rfloor = 0[/tex]
[tex]\lfloor 4 \rfloor = 4[/tex]

Thanks a lot.
