@@SmileyMPV oh yeah of course he underrepresents latin letters by a lot but I misunderstood what you wrote and thought you meant "greek n" Bro just included the whole Greek alphabet for no reason and it looks weird to me because I am Greek and we use more latin letters most of the time instead of Greek (well part of the reason is that many "reserved" greek letters are used in rare scenarios like capital Π bust still we use variables "a b" more often than "α β")

My first instinct to some of these symbols: \chi is the character of a finite-dimensional representation of a group over a field \Lambda is the ring of symmetric functions (or exterior power) \lambda is (of course) eigenvalue or integer partition \mu is (also) an integer partition \zeta is a root of unity \sigma is a permutation \eta is the unit (of adjoint functors) \epsilon is the counit (of adjoint functors) \wp is used (almost exclusively) as the Weierstrass elliptic function (which is not in my expertise), but I reserve it as the powerset symbol when doing HW (due to the shortness of the code) ! stands for uniqueness the square stands for QED \times is Cartesian product (or product in any category) g is a group element k is a field (probably of characteristic zero, or algebraically closed) \iota is inclusion (or injective homomorphism/function) \pi is projection (or surjective homomorphism/function) \partial means boundary (e.g. \partial D^2 = S^1) \kappa is curvature (or, in algebraic geometry, the residue field associated to a local ing) \omega is an arbitrary complex number \int is used for (co)end (to be honest, majority of mathematicians probably don't know well about this categorical concept, myself included)

As a non greek I am blessed with the power to fuck up all of your symbols but nobody cares as long as it’s clear from context what I mean
As a non greek i love transcribing these symbols Θ Þ, Χ CH, Φ PH, Υ Y, Ξ KS or X
ζξ how write these
Putting lower-case omega below upper-case omega. I'm unsubscribing, smh my head.
Upper case omega sexy af tho
Omega allways reminds me of God of War and omega is just a w with 2nd order interpolation turned on, so Omega > omega
... (shaking my head) my head?
Your reasoning behind the rankings is freaking hilarious
“partial derivative” symbol is also the boundary operator in topology so i think it deserves to be S-tier ://
I like the partial derivative symbol because when I learned partial derivatives I thought I was super cool and smart.
My calculus class collectively decided to call that symbol Zebulon
@@VidNudistKidwhere did y'all get that name from? it sounds interesting
@@eterty8335 I'm not sure. Maybe the town of Zebulon, Georgia? Someone just suggested it and the rest of the class of 17-21-year-olds liked it.
\Sigma is s-tier for sure. (Multiple reasons)
The disrespect with delta. It's so satisfying to write. Also capital delta wasn't even there
when he rank delta to the lowest am pretty sure he is only a mathematician. delta is commonly used in structural engineering when finding deflections of a structure
The zeta and Xi symbols are used a lot most prominent would be Riemann zeta function ! Xi as substitution variable or something in physics.
i am very confused on how a written out "mu" and "nu" are supposed to look anything alike to the point where its hard to distinguish. a written out "mu" looks like a "u" with a tail and a written out "nu" looks like a wavey italic "v"
And then doesn't do the same with chi, which imo looks a lot closer to x than mu does to nu
it's the name of the letters in the greek alphabet godammit why are math people so stupid
Im a big fan of the flaccid d for partial derivatives. It always feels nice to write.
I’ve always called it del, but after hearing “flaccid d” I think I’m going to have to permanently adopt that as its name
once i got into the rhythm; thumbs up and downing along...; the humor began to creep in. I began to catch myself lol-ing, and by 13:40… dude... sparkels, I lol-ed hard for a solid 5 secs. Thanks for the riffs dude!
The riemann zeta function is superior, you're insane
The fact that the d'Alembert operator didn’t get S tier is crazy to me. I love that someone was like, “well, we use a ∇ for a Laplacian which takes second partials of 3 special dimensions and it’s a triangle. So if we’re doing 3 special and 1 temporal, might as well make it a square for 4”
Honestly tho, a lot of these ratings are kind of cursed
lol it used to be called a "quabla" so theres that
My first instinct to some of these symbols: \chi is the character of a finite-dimensional representation of a group over a field \Lambda is the ring of symmetric functions (or exterior power) \lambda is (of course) eigenvalue or integer partition \mu is (also) an integer partition \zeta is a root of unity \sigma is a permutation \eta is the unit (of adjoint functors) \epsilon is the counit (of adjoint functors) \wp is used (almost exclusively) as the Weierstrass elliptic function (which is not in my expertise), but I reserve it as the powerset symbol when doing HW (due to the shortness of the code) ! stands for uniqueness the square stands for QED \times is Cartesian product (or product in any category) g is a group element k is a field (probably of characteristic zero, or algebraically closed) \iota is inclusion (or injective homomorphism/function) \pi is projection (or surjective homomorphism/function) \partial means boundary (e.g. \partial D^2 = S^1) \kappa is curvature (or, in algebraic geometry, the residue field associated to a local ing) \omega is an arbitrary complex number \int is used for (co)end (to be honest, majority of mathematicians probably don't know well about this categorical concept, myself included)
Spot the pure mathematician
God you know how cool it would be if LaTeX was more widely supported? Like I get youtube, but its not even in Google Docs. Sorry, your comment just reminded me of the profound sadness that comes from trying to write equations with copy pasted unicode symbols
Bro though there are ways you can write \mu u and v differently such that they look different lol but yea great video.. Id personally construct my list based on where the symbol is used and its structure to a lesser degree
When your writing is as awful as mine everything gets confused 😂
13:00 It's a Fraktur upper case I, hence it is used for imaginary numbers, if you are using Fraktur upper case letters for number fields like R for real numbers and C for complex numbers.
“xi is like wearing a purple hat with a feather in it” is the most true statement I’ve ever heard
I totally disagree with your choices. Kappa is not destinguishable from k when written by hand, so F tear and where is lower case t? and mu does'nt look like nu because of the long line on the left. mu must be B tear because it's used alongside lambda when scaling Vectors in Linear Algebra. With your S tear I agree
The thing that looks like ♈️ is Greek upsilon. I saw a very similar one (the left horn slightly shorter, may be the font I think?) in the 'applied & program-oriented logics' lectures. It represented a "totally ambivalent quasiary predicate" (not sure if I translated it correctly tho)
Isn't the symbol an astrological one? For Aries ♈️
@@freeman10000 yeah, it is
yoooo, thanks for the help! I am writing my thesis and E tier was especially helpful! P.S. yeah, for me as a mathematician every other tier wasn't really remarkful. P.P.S. I will use "coat hanger" symbol P.P.P.S. If anybody is interested, my thesis is about random walks in a dynamic random environments P.P.P.P.S. The "coat hanger" symbol is called Ypsilon
Yepsilon?
Also how many more P.s that you need?
@@SuryaBudimansyah thought about adding few P.S’s to indicate where in paper I have used this holy symbol
this is the type of video without telling you are a physicist or engineer
My favorite Greek alphabet tier list video 💀
Damn, when this video started I thought maybe I was in the right place. But once the omega came up and you didn't immediately say, "it looks like boobs"... I knew I had a lot of growing up to do and that I don't belong here.
You're mostly correct about zeta, only that you forgot about Riemann zeta function (no idea what it is, I just know it exists)
I use xi (don't have greek keyboard downloaded) just to mess with my teachers who are trying to understand my exams
Dude really rated differential, gradient and integral A instead of SSS.
im annoyed how mu looks like a u with a line when it’s actually meant to look like a M with a smooth, curved middle part
My man really put mu in F tier but gave a shitty low-res dot B tier smh
"this is just like 2 snakes fighting or something"
15:41 That is the Zeta function symbol for the Riemann Hypothesis and it is kinda important
"now infinity is pretty big" no shit, really?
What about euler's number?
im in algebra 2 and ive hardly ever encountered any of these (except xyz and fgh of course) the Σ symbol scares me though. i see it all the time on my older sister's calculus homework and it just feels intimidating. in a good way
The sigma symbol used to scare me too when I was in highschool but now I’m so used to it, I wouldnt imagine writing long sums without it.
infinite series are kinda scary tbh
wait till they tell you about the letter e
Learned it this year for Calculus I, and yeah I love it and hate it 😂
One time when I was studying aerodyanamics for a course, Anderson, writer of fundamentals of aerodynamics, used Xi for vorticity of a fluid. Which I found super based as it kind of looks like a swirly / rotating line
So u just ranking the Greek alphabet plus some other symbols for math... Nice!
the mystery one feels like a capitol gamma
Thanks. Highly helpful.
You can use the mystery symbol for volume if all Vs are taken for velocity and Potential energy
what's funny about x y z being in a b c respectively is that every multi axis machine tool is built with rotational axes in the exact same arrangement. The A axis is always colinear with the X axis, the B axis with the Y axis, and the C with the Z axis, it's just the standard.
6:00 First time I saw lambda was when I was studying eigenvectors and eigenvalues. that weird?
You scream physics the moment you placed Psi, and h bar (modified Planck constant) on S tier. The amount of times I saw those symbols in my semiconductor physics class made me sick. But then you placed Mu which is electron mobility in semiconductor physics in F tier but that symbol is just used for everything at this point.
7:42 that's just a latin v. Regular old v. Vee. For velocity, or vector, A tier.
Controversial but lower case omega is the bane of my existence. Upper case is great though
I looked up the mysterious symbol and it came up with the symbol for the aries constellation 😂
♈️
Those I really hate is just mu, nu, eta and small omega as now I am going through some fluid mechanics courses and oh boy how people always like to put these Greek alphabets together with u, v, n and w. It is so confusing
Btw what is than the mystery symbol?
The two sided fishing hook one is called upsilon 😊
Aries ♈️
16:19 I've never seen this symbol before. Someone please help explain / link to what it means.
The "eth" symbol or something, ð it's unicode is U+00F0
What it do?
You forgot the i of imaginary numbers! Would've ranked it as S tier for sure
😂 I was forced to open Netflix after this video. Man, this guy is too much 😂
I really like sigma because it looks dangerous and I think this dangerous look complements its function? Like, I think the combination of a very huge sum and the " claws " go together very well
I shit myself every time nu is used together with a generic u or v
The Coathanger Redemtion should be a movie
EPSILON IN D TIER? DELTA IN E? dear lord this tier list enraged me good work
Lol he swapped their ranks
x & y have to be S-tier if they’re as essential as you say they are (and they are)
The squiggly deserves more love. It denotes vorticity in aerodynamics and is the 🐐
I especially hate mu because it’s the only SI unit prefix I can’t easily type on my computer and I hate using u instead
that coat hanger symbol is probably an "upsilon", i searched that
Me waiting for him to represent the plus symbol.
I love how you say all the ones that look like u is confusing but then there is 4 x if you include times
SMH at the lack of commutative diagram arrows Also no wedge product? No tensor product?
that cool fancy S (ζ) is the Lowercase zeta
13:05 its the cute little two-snakes fighting over the imaginary part of z symbol
x is literally the soul of math!! You’ve should put it on S tier
who let bro cook 🔥🔥🔥
Isn’t that second d tier capital upsilon? Or is it one of the planet symbols?
Sorry e tier, not sigma,
It kind of looks like the Yellowstone symbol, but I’m almost positive it’s capital upsilon
You are correct it is capital upsilon but it is rarely used because of the lowercase version
Hello..I am a PhD student in physics from Iraq..I hope you can help me find codes in the Python program to study the Fe(phen) molecule by monte carlo ising model 2D to determine the spin crossover phenomenon .. with many thanks to you
Yes I have a video on just this: kzhead.info/sun/fpFmYcykrWuvqWg/bejne.html
@@MrPSolver Sorry, I watched the video and it was great, but it explains in general and I wanted to study the molecule (iron phen) specifically. Can we find a Python code for it.. Greetings
Can I ask how y’all type all these symbols on an iPhone? I can find the Greek alphabet but not other advanced symbols
Aleph is S-tier mate. Look at that pretentiousness. That grandeur. And it represents infinity better than *actual* infinity. It's like a smug N.
I kind of miss heavy hitters here: where are i, e, and Tau? And the tipped over capital A "for all" and flipped E "exists"? And the beautiful circular integrals? How dare you spend even a second discussing the pretentious unwritable wiggles and miss those?
No, seriously, the "wiggles" are Sub-Zero tier, together with ampersand, who can write that by hand?
Knew I was missing something 😂
Why don't you do a meme video ranking differential equations as well.
I just might do so
W
Your coathanger letter is capital upsilon lol
* Puts infinity to C-Tier for lack of creativity * * also puts two x-shape symbols into A-Tier *
The "Laplace Transformation" symbol should be S-tier without any doubt, this list is more like a "Physics symbol tier list" rather than maths
I literally spent 20 minutes of my life watching some random guy on youtube ranking mathematical symbols. I should probably reconsider my life choices.
I spent 2 hours of my life ranking math symbols. I probably should too.
You start with the most basic symbol and put it in the 2nd highest rank... there is not much to expect after that anymore
Infinite not in S 💀 That sign after calculus disappears. I miss a lot the way it was representing such an unreachable number.
Epsilon and Delta being so low make me so sad. What did analysis ever do to you😭
wheres uppercase delta (it looks like an upright triangle) its one of my favorite symbols to write
Epsilon should have been in E tear and delta in D tear and i'm so mad about it
X is nothing special? Oh forgive him Father, for he ain't got no clue, he a foo
As an infinity lover, If I didn’t read the description I would commit arson

What is the symbol at 8:53, after C
bro ranked the Greek alphabet
12:56 it's the "family" symbol
nah man, mathcal F is for families
How did you miss i , j and delta (∆)?
Epsilon was violated
