    Drawing Psi
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges of writing Greek letters in mathematical contexts. Participants express frustration with specific letters like \kappa, \zeta, and \xi, noting difficulties in distinguishing between similar-looking characters such as μ, ρ, u, and n. One contributor humorously describes their handwriting as chaotic, comparing M's to a drunken Zorro's mark. A professor's acknowledgment of the common issue of illegible Greek letters highlights the importance of context in understanding mathematical notation, reinforcing that clarity can often be achieved through contextual cues rather than perfect handwriting.

I was doing my homework just now, writing a lot of \kappa's and all of a sudden I can't draw them anymore :frown:.

Lol, what?
 
I have always find it impossible to draw \zeta and \xi.
 
one time I was doing a problem that had a lot of μ's, ρ's, u's and n's

at one point I realized that they were all looking exactly the same >.>
 
Well, I do have my own issues. For example all my writing looks like a dying chicken scratched it out while having a seizure. My M's look like the symbol Zorro leaves on the wall, but after he's had a few too many to drink.
 
I had a prof once who would frequently admit many of his greek letters were illegible - impossible to tell one from the other. "That's OK," he'd say, "You'll know what I mean from the context."

:eek:

Funny thing was, he was right.
 
Lol!
