in this video we're gonna talk about

certain Greek alphabet symbols that you

might see in a typical math course or in

chemistry or physics so the first one is

the symbol alpha in physics this symbol

typically represents angular

acceleration sometimes you'll see alpha

use as an angle particularly in trig the

next symbol is a beta which can also be

an angle in trigonometry next we have

the Greek symbol gamma after that you

have the symbol Delta which can be

represented in any of these two forms

the first one is the lowercase Greek

alphabet of Delta the second one the

triangle is the uppercase the triangle

you'll see this in calculus this means

change so for example Delta X that's the

change in X or Delta Y the change in Y

the next Greek symbol that you'll

typically encounter is Epsilon in

physics this would represent the

dielectric constant within a capacitor

next we have a Zeta in physics this

would be impedance particularly in an

RLC circuit the next Greek symbol is

Theta

I'm sure you've encountered this symbol

if you you've taken a trigonometry or

pre-capitalist so this will represent

the angle in trig the next symbol is

Kappa and this one you've seen in

chemistry or physics this is a lambda

and chemistry this would be the

wavelength of a wave and the same is

true in physics next we have this symbol

mu and you've seen us in terms of units

think of

micrometers or micrograms next we have

the Greek symbol nu which looks like a V

this represents frequency when dealing

with waves the next one is pi which is

typically encountered in math and

geometry this is the value 3.14159 well

if some other numbers added to that as

well in physics we have the Greek symbol

Rho which in electricity topics this

would be resistivity but in more

classical physics like let's say fluid

mechanics you might see this as density

now since I'm run out of space I'm gonna

clear away a few things now the next

symbol is Sigma which you'll see it in

two forms that's the lower case of Sigma

and this is the uppercase version of

Sigma so the lowercase Sigma this will

typically correspond to an angle just as

theta would represent an angle in

trigonometry the uppercase version of

Sigma this is you'll see this in math

this represents summation or sum so for

instance let's say if we have the Sigma

of x squared started from one to five

this would be 1 squared plus 2 squared

plus 3 squared plus 4 squared plus 5

squared so the capitalized version of

Sigma represents some next we have the

Greek symbol tau and you'll see this in

physics when you're dealing with the

time constant of RC circuits tau is

equal to RC the next Greek symbol that

we

five is Phi which is another type of

angle next we have Omega this symbol

typically corresponds to angular

frequency Omega is equal to two pi F 2

pi times the regular frequency another

unit of or symbol of Omega is this one

this is the uppercase version of Omega

and you'll see this symbol that when

dealing with electrical circuits so this

symbol is the unit of resistance which

is measured in ohms so those are some

common Greek alphabet symbols that you

encounter when taking chemistry physics

or certain courses in math so that's it
