The Greek Alphabet

Learn to recognize and write the letters of the Greek Alphabet.

The Greek Alphabet is a major source of technical symbols used in many fields of knowledge such as mathematics, science, engineering and finance to represent the special constants, functions and variables used in the mathematical formulae that describe the most important ideas associated with each of these areas of intellectual endeavour: Alpha a helium nuclei, beta an electron, gamma a photon, being particles emitted in nuclear reactions. But alpha is also the active return on an investment in finance or the brightest star in a constellation in astronomy. Delta a difference, pi a ratio, theta an angle, phi the empty set, omega the first infinite ordinal in mathematics. Lambda a wavelength, mu a muon in physics. It is easier to read about these subjects if you can recognize, name and write these symbols confidently: if you want to be a mathematician or a venture capitalist steep yourself in these strange symbols until they are so familiar that you can forget that once, before you played this app, you did not know them.
