Etruscan borrowing

If Etruscan didn't have the g sound, why did the Etruscans simply change the sound from g to k rather than just dropping the letter from their alphabet and using kappa throughout?? Georgia guy 23:51, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe because they needed the letter to represent sounds from different languages or obscure dialects of their language. :) -Panther (talk) 16:08, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Waluigi?

I'm moving the reference to an uppercase gamma being used on the hat of the character Waluigi into the fictional names system. I was going to delete it entirely since it's actually an upside-down "L" (just like the "W" on Wario's hat is an upside-down "M"). However, since there's a fictional character section, I'll move it there to avoid having it detract from the general scientific thrust of the page. -- Anonymous

Symbols used in Science

I think taht the Greek Symbols which are used in Equations should have the explaination of thier equations written about here

MS-DOS Codepage 437

You think capital Greek Gamma's code point was 226. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.233.98.148 (talk) 03:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of gamma

I am pretty certain that Gamma in Greek is spelled with one M (γάμα). Regardless, I think it should be given as an alternate spelling. -Panther (talk) 16:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

c

why is there a c in quotes after each gamma -Quiet Secret. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.123.204 (talk) 03:19, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Absence of Mentioning Gamma's use as a Respresentation of the Connection Coefficients

I would correct this error if I could, but it seems as though I can't edit this page. If anyone reads this that can edit the page please insert this:
Gamma is also used to represent Connection Coefficients (other names include Christoffel Symbols of the first and second kind)in Tensor Analysis
Christoffel Symbol of The First Kind:

\Gamma _{abc}={\frac {1}{2}}[\partial _{a}g_{bc}+\partial _{b}g_{ca}-\partial _{c}g_{ab}]

(1)

Christoffel Symbol of The Second Kind:

\Gamma _{bc}^{a}=g^{ad}\Gamma _{bcd}

(2)

Where $g_{ab}$ is the metric tensor and $g^{ab}$ is the reciprocal of the metric tensor, and in equality (2) we have applied the Einstein Summation Convention.
