Where is this "mathematical standard-notation" defined?

Of course this is a facetious question - it isn't defined anywhere:
there is no such thing.

J attempts to make mathematical notation consistent (and linear).

As Albert Einstein is reputed to have said: Common sense is the collection
of
prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Similarly, mathematical standards are whatever an individual may have
picked up from the hodge-podge of inconsistent conventions with which
he has become familiar by a certain age.

And of course, in J, you can do as many have done and assign
names to the trig functions or simply load '~system\main\trig.ijs'
which has definitions like
cos=: 2&o.
already done for you.

Of course, you may have a different "standard" name for, say, the
arctangent function.  Common ones in use are "atan", "tan-1",  and "arctan".
