All these are used in mathematics and related disciplines.  In his
TeXbook Don Knuth devotes 4 chapters (16, 17, 18, and 19) to how to
typeset mathematics and the fine points of doing so.  The amsmath
package for LaTeX2e makes minor changes, e.g. instead of \pmatrix{
....} it uses \begin{pmatrix}....\end{pmatrix} and provides more
facilities, but the four chapters are basic and it is easy to see what
happens when using amsmath.
