What part of

Answer 1

• The horizontal bar means that "[above] implies [below]".
• If there are multiple expressions in [above], then consider them anded together; all of the [above] must be true in order to guarantee the [below].
• : means has type
• ∈ means is in. (Likewise ∉ means "is not in".)
• Γ is usually used to refer to an environment or context; in this case it can be thought of as a set of type annotations, pairing an identifier with its type. Therefore x : σ ∈ Γ means that the environment Γ includes the fact that x has type σ.
• ⊢ can be read as proves or determines. Γ ⊢ x : σ means that the environment Γ determines that x has type σ.
• , is a way of including specific additional assumptions into an environment Γ.
  Therefore, Γ, x : τ ⊢ e : τ' means that environment Γ, with the additional, overriding assumption that x has type τ, proves that e has type τ'.

As requested: operator precedence, from highest to lowest:

• Language-specific infix and mixfix operators, such as λ x . e, ∀ α . σ, and τ → τ', let x = e0 in e1, and whitespace for function application.
• :
• ∈ and ∉
• , (left-associative)
• ⊢
• whitespace separating multiple propositions (associative)
• the horizontal bar
