How do I write this in mathematical notation? [closed]

$begingroup$
It's a rather simple statement to change into mathematical notation, but I wasn't in class to learn mathematical notation.
"California has more municipalities than Maine".
Help? What is mathematical notation?

This would be a good question to direct to the instructor or a peer in the class - exactly what answer they expect from you depends a lot more on the context of the class than a universal context of mathematics.

"Mathematical notation" is a vague means of saying it involves numbers and symbols. What specific notation is expected of you really depends on the context. For example, if you were in grade school, I would interpret the statement as follows..... "Let $C$ be the number of municipalities of California, and $M$ the number of municipalities in Maine. Then $C > M$."

As Milo said though, you should direct this towards someone who was there that day - "mathematical notation" includes a BROAD range of topics depending on your education, the class, the field of mathematics, etc. etc. etc.

$A>B$, where $A$ denotes the number of municipalities in California and $B$ the number in Maine. Is this really your problem?
