Delta --> Small quantities.

Sigma --> *usually* large quantities.

Therefore, Sigma > Delta.
yes but do you remember how in The War of The Worlds, the big aliens are killed by small bacteria?

Similarly Capital Delta pwns Capital Sigma

Speaking of bad writing, the other day I saw my lecturer was writing this on the board (exactly this)



Took me a while to realise that it was supposed to be a Zeta.

I thought that was a fancy 'z', like for complex numbers.

But it doesn't change the fact that Sigma > Delta.

That's right mirakon.

I always liked writing theta for some reason

also, this looks pretty cool

<3 theta

this because when I first saw it i thought it looked like a fish haha:


and the infinity symbol although mine always screws up and ends up being bigger on one end than the other.

Continue the flow of alpha and you'll get infinity.
