Isomorphic if you are in abstract algebra.
Congruent if you are in geometry.

OH!!!! I KNOW!!! We are learning that in Math class or geometry whatever it's called but that sign means coungruet which means like two things measure the same. So let's say you have two triangles right and they both have angles that measures 60 (let's call them angle 1 and angle 2) so that sign would show up like this....
<1 '~' above = <2

with 2 of these ~ form an equal sign for Geometry is congruent. In algebra with an = with a ~ on top means approximetly or equal to. Google for mathematical symbols, its cool.

If both of the lines on the equal sign are squigley (sp?), that means aproxiamtely equal to. Its used for rounding

I think it means "approximately equal to", as opposed to exactly equal to. If I remember correctly, from my high school days.

It means congruent, as in equal(Geometry anyways)

i.e. say you are using it to state that two angles are congruent, you would write
~

that means approximately or equal to

It means approximately or about.
so, 1.4999 ~= 1.5
