What's your favorite greek letter? Writing [itex] \xi [/itex] has always been fun for me.

@davenn: in LaTeX, the greek characters not already in the latin charset are typeset by writing their name with a backslash in front.
So: Lambda is \Lambda or \lambda, which gets you ##\Lambda## or ##\lambda## .

Like: '# # \LaTeX # #' = ##\LaTeX##
Even ##\delta## can make a difference.SafiBTA said:##Δ## is what matters to me.

The Greek letter ξ, also known as "xi", represents the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet. It is commonly used in mathematics and science to represent the statistical term "xi" or the "independent variable".
The Greek letter ξ is pronounced as "ksi" in English. It is a combination of the sounds "k" and "s". In Greek, it is pronounced as "xē" or "xí".
The Greek letter ξ is believed to be derived from the Phoenician letter "samekh", which means "fish". It is also related to the Hebrew letter "samekh" and the Latin letter "x".
In science and mathematics, the Greek letter ξ is used to represent the statistical term "xi" or the "independent variable". It is also used in the notation for the Riemann zeta function and in the symbol for the correlation coefficient.
The coolness of a Greek letter is subjective and can vary from person to person. However, some may find the Greek letter ξ to be the coolest due to its unique shape and pronunciation, as well as its significance in mathematics and science.
