How to understand the phrase " (/ sy -2))" ? And where I can acquire the algorithm of phrases of like it?

This is just the Scheme programming language. There are lots of resources and tutorials about Scheme online; see:

(For books, a classic is "The Little Schemer".)

The particular expression you quoted means "sy divided by -2". In Scheme the operator comes first, then the arguments (prefix notation, also called Polish notation).
