A table of symbols is extremely helpful.

A table of symbols is extremely helpful. I hate reading a paper where the author defines things when they first appear. If you missed that bit, you have to spend minutes searching for it, and forget what you were thinking about. It's worse in a text book where you have to search many chapters to find where it was introduced. Complete waste of time. I don't think there can be "palletes" to choose from, because interdisciplinary work will find there's no pallete that fits.
