SUMMARY
The symbol for the continuous product in mathematics is referred to as a "product integral," denoted by ##\prodi##. This notation is analogous to the discrete product symbol ##\prod## and the continuous integral symbol ##\int##. Various representations for the product integral include ##\int\!\!\!\!\!\times##, ##\int\!\!\!\!_P##, and an elongated lowercase "pi." In practice, the standard discrete product symbol ##\Pi## is often used when the context clarifies its meaning.
