The symbols Δt and ΔT are commonly used in number of contexts.

ΔT (timekeeping) the difference between two time scales, Universal Time and Terrestrial Time, which results from a drift in the length of a day
The interval of time used in determining velocity.
The increment between successive nerve impulses

to mean a difference in temperature including thermodynamic temperature, may occur in
- Discussions of climate change
- Discussions of heat transfer
- Discussions of the effects of thermal gradients
