Symbols for physics, geometry, calculus ext

In summary, the conversation is discussing the use of symbols in various subjects such as Physics, Geometry, Calculus, Astronomy, Cosmology, Biology, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Chemistry. The symbols used may vary depending on the author and context of the book, and it can be challenging to find a comprehensive list of symbols. The Wikipedia page for Physics may be a helpful resource for finding symbols. Additionally, at the beginning of each book, there is usually a list of notations used by the author.

Basically the symbols like force f and d/dt (mv) for these subjects.
Physics
Geometry
Calculus
Astronomy
Cosmology
Biology
Algebra
Trigonometry
Chemistry
Could you try to get as many symbols in or like a website. It is really hard to find a good list of symbols.

I don't understand the question...
also the symbols are a matter of notation and thus author.
 
  • #6
Yeah the notations
 
  • #7
at the beggining of every book, there is a list of notations used by the author.
In general there is no reason to have fixed notations, since anyone can introduce symbols for his own.
[itex]R[/itex] can stand for radius as well as ricci curvature as well as resistance in a circuit as an R-parity eigenvalue as blah blah... you have to follow the author and the context of his book.
 

What are the most commonly used symbols in physics?

The most commonly used symbols in physics include Greek letters such as alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ), as well as symbols like m for mass, v for velocity, and F for force.

What are the symbols used in geometry?

Some common symbols used in geometry include angles (θ), lines (l), and shapes such as circles (○), squares (□), and triangles (△).

What symbols are used in calculus?

Calculus symbols include the derivative symbol (d/dx), the integral symbol (∫), and the summation symbol (Σ). Other commonly used symbols include x and y for variables, and c for a constant.

What is the symbol for velocity in physics?

The symbol for velocity in physics is v. It is often represented as an arrow pointing in the direction of motion.

What are the symbols for area and volume in geometry?

The symbol for area in geometry is A, while the symbol for volume is V. These symbols are often used in formulas such as A = lw for the area of a rectangle and V = lwh for the volume of a rectangular prism.
