ALGEBRAIC word it is valid but AMBIGOUS ,, you can refer to professional textbook notation or programming language notation for mathematical expressions.
Micro$oft-Word uses the LINEAR and PROFESSIONAL words, see next sceen capture



the ALGEBRAIC word It was created for the first computer languages that could not edit 2D dimensional mathematical expressions, such as nthroot(3,-8) is linear notation of ∛-8, BUT NOW YOU CAN EDIT in PROFESSIONAL notation, hence the term ALGEBRAIC MUST EVOLVE

This is a mathematical expression in linear notation for hp-prime
-(x+y)*5!+abs(-4)+cos(pi)+sin(pi/3+pi)+(3 NTHROOT -8)+(4/3)+logb(1,10)*x^2+floor(pi)+ceiling(pi)
shown on the second screen, and on the first screen is the professional notation or textbook


there unicode characters that show operators or functions with the appearance of textbook as
∛
x¹
x²
x³
