CHANGE "In probability theory, ϕ(x) = (2π)−1⁄2e−x2/2 is the probability density function of the standard normal distribution." to "In probability theory, ϕ(x) = (2π)−1⁄2e−x2/2 is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution."

[edit]Phi is a symbol used when describing grain size in sedimentology. Wentworth and Krumbian scales both use φ to describe the size of individual sediment particles.
This should be added to the list of scientific measurements that utilize phi.

[edit]the first line "lowercase φ or ϕ" shows two identical symbols on my computer and it's not clear how they are distinguished. i'm not sure how you could guarantee that both different symbols are shown.
