An engineer in my 50s, I have gradually been trying to improve my mathematical notation, an effort your answers here at Math.SE have partly inspired. Therefore, if $z in mathbb C$, may I ask whether I have written this in good style? $$z notin n in mathbb Z wedge n le 0$$ Or is this better? $$z notin n in mathbb Z $$ Or is this better? $$z notin n in mathbb Z le 0$$ Or even this? $$z notin mathbb Z le 0$$ Or this? $$z notinmathbb Z le 0$$ Or something else? If you find a flaw in any or all of my notations (and I do not doubt that you will), then would you illuminate my misconception?

The $z$ is an arbitrary complex number except that $z = 0, -1, -2, -3,ldots$ [the poles of $Gamma(z)$] are not allowed.

  @thb The second one you gave is the only one that I think I would find in a text. $znotin nin mathbbZmid nleq 0$, but this assume that the total domain is $mathbbZ$. I now realize you might be talking about the complex plane. In which case, you might write it as, $zin mathbbCsetminus mathbbZ^leq 0 = zinmathbbC$.

I don't like any of these. Too much notation makes questions harder to read, and none of these clarify what $z$ is allowed to be. If $z$ (notice! this is a total guess!) is supposed to be a complex number, I would say, "let $z in mathbbC$ be a complex number that is not a non-positive integer."

---

Edit: I've just seen that $z$ is supposed to be an integer. In this case we should just write $z in mathbbN$. Most authors define the natural numbers $mathbbN$ to be the set of positive integers.
