"Hello" with a German accent at the beginning of every video is quite addictive.

You're very welcome!

[@minglee5164]

Thanks, really helpful, LaTex script is also incorporated

[@shamancosmo7245]

What is then the difference between the lower case of mega-o and the uppercase of the micron-o?

[@brightsideofmaths]

I like your humour :)

[@pinklady7184]

Yoo da best and bestest. Thank you.

[@MrLikon7]

for those who want to dive deeper, there is a nice wiki article:

[@surendrabarsode8959]

Indeed very helpful! Thanks!

[@sidekick3rida]

Thank you!

[@brightsideofmaths]

You're welcome!

[@HshsHsjs-h1m]

Thank you. I'm studying Reinforcement Learning which is part of AI. I found your introductory series very helpful.

[@brightsideofmaths]

Glad it was helpful!

3:21 that's not the case all.
It was used as an Imaginary Unit

[@brightsideofmaths]

Indeed!

[@berfeyalcinkaya]

Thanks!!

3:37 to be honest at first glance it looked more like a weird lower case x than k to me 😅

[@brightsideofmaths]

Depending on your writing, you should adapt the form of the Greek letters such that there is no confusion. My x is not curved at all, so it never looks like kappa :)

[@minglee5164]

Will the letter be enough for labeling COVID-19 virus 🦠

[@otterlyso]

Xi - ksee sounds too much like c - cee.

[@brightsideofmaths]

True. Then the other pronunciation would be better to avoid confusion.

[@otterlyso]

@@brightsideofmaths I think so. With ξ ksai π pai φ phai, the vowel says 'I am not from the Latin alphabet.'

[@brightsideofmaths]

@@otterlyso Yeah, you are totally right. All these letters, I learnt to use with an ee-sound. Therefore it might be harder to switch for me ;)

[@stanleydodds9]

What about digamma? I guess the digamma function doesn't come up a lot, but I think it still counts as a Greek letter.

[@brightsideofmaths]

It is not a letter of the modern Greek alphabet. However, you are right that sometimes it is still used in mathematics.
