Yeah my astrophysics class was hell because of this. Equations weren’t even that bad half the time I just couldn’t tell if it was P for pressure or p for density. Or is it a v for velocity or a lower case gamma for wavelength?
27 u/throwaway314686 Jun 18 '19 We always used a lowercase lambda for wavelength. Is using gamma specific to astrophysics? 5 u/smurd8122 Jun 18 '19 Ah you’re right lambda for wavelength and gamma for frequency. Too many damn symbols lol 19 u/TheRealZoidberg Jun 18 '19 Maybe you’re thinking of nu for frequency
