The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.
Greek symbols are used as symbols in mathematics, physics and other sciences. Many symbols have traditional uses, such as lower case epsilon (ε) for an arbitrarily small positive number , lower case pi (π) for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter , capital sigma (Σ) for summation , and lower case sigma (σ) for standard ...
