Math Symbols<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

Cosmology has quite a few math symbols. Some are familiar using standard physics notation, others are easy to confuse or “mis-remember” such as how “T” can mean either Temperature or Frequency. \u00a0Adding to that confusion, cosmology math symbols often have different meanings in other closely related fields.<\/p>\n

So here’s a cheat sheet of common symbols used in Cosmological math.<\/strong> It could be helpful to Cosmology students and for those of us who have a lot of other things to remember and would like to keep our brain free for more important details. (At least that’s the excuse I’m going to use.)<\/p>\n

If I’ve missed any vital ones, or Hubble Forbid . . . made any errors, send me a quick note and I’ll fix it as soon as I can.<\/p>\n
