"Therefore" is a standard term used in mathematical reasoning.
It has its own symbol: 3 dots in a regular triangle pointing upwards.

An example can be seen nearly halfway down this webpage:

As can be seen there is also the term "because". This has the inverse
meaning to "therefore" and is represented by an upsidedown therefore
symbol.
