        description={Mathematics is what mathematicians do}
}
\newglossaryentry{formula}

How do I produce the list acronyms, I tried \printacronyms but they are still not showing

Welcome to TeX:SE! Please make your document example shorter. In preamble load only needed packages and put definition needed for your problem. — Zarko, Nov 22 '21 at 16:12

Please note that you need to compile once with pdfLaTeX, then you should makeglossaries and then recompile. The command \glsaddall is used so to make the acronyms appear even if they are not called in the main text. If you don't want this behavior, just delete that line.

In order to create a "makeglossaries" command you have first to be sure you have Perl installed on your system. If that is the case, the solution is straightforward, otherwise a bit of tuning is needed.

If you have Perl (or you would like to download it from here, for example: https://strawberryperl.com/), just go into your Tex software (scripting, composition, etc... for example). I have TexWorks and I needed to create a new process as follows

The compilation order is then 1. pdfLaTex, 2. makeglossaries, 3. pdfLaTeX.

If you do not have Perl I suggest you to search on StackExchange how to do it (I found it once but it seems I cannot right now)... use keywords as "acronyms", "glossaries", "not appearing", "Perl".

Hope you fix it, I struggled with it for few days!!!

I tried, I installed Perl also but not working. I am working with Texmaker, and created a makeglossaries command then 1. compile with PDFLATEX (FILENAME.TEX) 2. make — user460329, Nov 23 '21 at 07:01
Please have a look here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/314057/using-glossaries-package-with-texmaker-running-pdflatex specifically for TexMaker Specifically also here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/110095/list-of-acronyms-is-not-displayed
You need to have certain specification for makeglossaries depending on the software you're using and the operating system — L Mascolo, Nov 23 '21 at 07:47
For ACRONYM it worked pretty well but struggling with glossary to print. — user460329, Dec 03 '21 at 08:22
Just add the \printglossary[style=super,nonumberlist] command with no acronym type — L Mascolo, Dec 03 '21 at 08:23
