List of mathematical uses of Latin letters

Many letters of the Latin alphabet, both capital and small, are used in mathematics, science, and engineering to denote by convention specific or abstracted constants, variables of a certain type, units, multipliers, or physical entities. Certain letters, when combined with special formatting, take on special meaning. Below is an alphabetical list of the letters of the alphabet with some of their uses. The field in which the convention applies is mathematics unless otherwise noted. (Wikipedia).

Using Algebra and Geometry in the Real World

You hear terms like “algebra” and “geometry” and these theories we memorized in high school start to dance a jig in our heads – a jig many of us weren’t overly interested in! But the past decade has seen an explosion of applications of algebra, geometry, and topology to the real world, lik

Why there are LETTERS in math (how to solve INFINITELY many problems)

A big frustration in math is the use of letters like x, y, z, a, b, c. If they just make everything confusing, why would anyone ever want to use them? In this video, we will see how using letters in calculations, instead of numbers, allows us to solve infinitely many problems at once!

Multiplying Roman Numerals Like the Romans Did [Math Mini]

The Roman Numeral system is particularly different from our decimal number system in this key respect: it has no place value. Rather than represent values by some power of 10 (or otherwise), roman numerals represent value additively. Each symbol stands for a certain value, and to get the c
