Well, I did some reformatting. Let me know what you think. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 21:51, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

3D Geometry edit

I would change/add the 3D geometry entries for X, Y, and Z to not specify particular axes in 3D-space. There are a lot of different coordinate systems, and not all of them use Z to represent vertical, etc. For example, the "standard" one I use at work has X as north-south, Y as up-down, and Z as east-west.

Survived Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Roman letters used in mathematics

I had no idea this subject would be so popular. Nor did I think the other topic I made would be that popular as well. Thanks to all who contributed to both of them. --Admiral Roo 17:17, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Include science and engineering uses edit

Just like proposed and agreed (but not yet extensively done) for the Greek letters, I started adding uses in science and enginieering.−Woodstone 20:41, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Seperation edit

Some of the fields have got quite random, might it be worth seperating into say Constants

Citation edit

Any help with citations on this page would be appreciated! I'm just a high school kid trying to update this! Could use some help from more experienced Wikipediaes! 21st March 2022

Physics Angle edit

Just an idea, im coming at this more from the physics angle (as you can probably guess due to the number of physics variables that have sprang up in the past few days) im not sure how to seamlessly work in variables from computer science, maths and engineering any ideas? 06:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)86.14.90.158 (talk)
