The Greek alphabet on a black-figure pottery vessel, with an archaic chickenfoot-shaped psi.. Psi / ˈ (p) s aɪ, ˈ (p) s iː / (P)SY, (P)SEE [1] (uppercase Ψ, lowercase ψ or 𝛙; Greek: ψι psi) is the twenty-third and penultimate letter of the Greek alphabet and is associated with a numeric value of 700.
The OpenType font format has the feature tag "mgrk" ("Mathematical Greek") to identify a glyph as representing a Greek letter to be used in mathematical (as opposed to Greek language) contexts. The table below shows a comparison of Greek letters rendered in TeX and HTML. The font used in the TeX rendering is an italic style.
1 livre (also known as a pound [2]) (Venetian) = 450 g 1 mina = 1.5 kg 1 royal mine 1.5 kg 1 oka = 0.85331 royal mine = 1.280 kg [1] [2] [3] = 1 stater = 56.32 kg 1 talanton = 150 kg. One cantaro was equal to 44 oke, but the value varied from 112 to 128 lb depending on locality. [4] [3] One tseki was 176 oka in Istanbul and 136 oka in ...
The pound per square inch (abbreviation: psi) or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in 2), [1] is a unit of measurement of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units and used primarily in the United States. It is the pressure resulting from a force with magnitude of one pound-force applied to an area of one square ...
A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]
Pound per square inch, unit of pressure; PSI (computational chemistry), software; J/psi meson, subatomic particle; Porous silicon; Water potential, denoted Ψ, in physical chemistry, the potential energy of a water solution relative to pure water; Wave function, denoted ψ, in quantum mechanics
Some quantities are known as several different names such as the magnetic B-field which is known as the magnetic flux density, the magnetic induction or simply as the magnetic field depending on the context. Similarly, surface tension can be denoted by either σ, γ or T. The table usually lists only one name and symbol that is most commonly used.
In contrast, a character entity reference refers to a character by the name of an entity which has the desired character as its replacement text. The entity must either be predefined (built into the markup language) or explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD). The format is the same as for any entity reference: &name;
