What do the symbols '#' and '.' signify before an element signify in a stylesheet?

These are selectors. Selectors let you define a class.

Example:

   <HTML>
<HEAD>
<style type="text/css">
 I.choose {color:red; font-size:12px; font-family:arial; text-decoration:underline}
</style>

</HEAD>

<BODY>
<I>This is normal Italics</I><br>
<I class="choose">This is an Italics choose Selector </I>
</BODY>

</HTML>

The # is an ID Selector. Same principle as using the . except they are used when defining an object with a unique ID.
