{e1, e2, ...} is a list of elements.

The short notation {...} and the FullForm notation List[...] are equivalent: In[1]:=List[a, b, c, d] Out[1]={a, b, c, d} In[2]:=FullForm[{a, b, c, d}] Out[2]=List[a, b, c, d]

{...}

List is a very general construct used to represent collections of expressions. Lists may have any length or depth. The expression List[a, b, c, ...] is commonly written and displayed using the shorthand syntax {a, b, c, ...}. Lists are particularly important in the Wolfram Language, which does not define explicit vector, matrix, tensor, etc. objects but rather uses (possibly nested) lists to represent such structures. For example, {a, b, c, ...} can represent a vector, {{a, b}, {c, d}} a matrix, and so on.
