This short paper has only touched on a few of the most common ones, I have not included the dozens, in not hundreds, of the letters from the Latin alphabet used in mathematics (e.g. ‘x’ used to denote an unknown variable). There are also many other Greek letters used in Mathematics, but that is a different story!
I would like to thank Mr. M. J. Emson for drifting ‘off topic’ ever so slightly, to introduce us to this!
