List of letters used in mathematics, science, and engineering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Latin and Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities.

Some common conventions:
