That is what area of study uses this notation (I ask because it is not used
in any thing I have studies in this way).

i've seen that notation before. it is from vector calculus, and you see it even in calc 3. in general we can use \left< x_1, x_2, ..., x_n \right> to represent a vector with n components. if the components are functions, as opposed to just numbers, we obtain a vector field, that is, a function that assigns an nth dimensional vector to each point
