When you advance so much in mathematics that pi starts to mean probability, and you run out of greek letters and had to use Hebrew ones.

Of course the day after reading this, I encounter it for the first time, in my ML class.
Honestly maths gets easier with letters because there is a lot less maths in it, at least in the traditional sense. Lot harder to make a numerical mistake.
But u can use a calculator to bypass numerical mistakes
Not the ones I make.
Calculators are still very error prone. It is very easy to press the wrong button or miss a digit without noticing.
You just need better calculator to operate on greek letters like Mathematica
Ah, who knew quantum field theory was easier than arithmetic.
I can speak Greek and I'm still terrified when math speaks Greek
Mussolini?? Bushes??? i missed an important day in history class i guess. anyone share notes?

Tensile stress x heat conductivity x the angle alpha x shear stress (or a time constant) x the rate of change of the angle alpha.
There are:
×·*
and you still chose x.
I didn't do "*" cause I'm on a phone and I didn't want to mess with accidentally italicizing my whole sentence. Everything else but "x" is a special character that I can't get to in a short time.
You can do \* to prevent it from italicizing stuff. Also, if you're using Android, there's an app called Unexpected Keyboard that makes every reasonably-useful key reachable in a few taps.
