% The Greek alphabet in LaTeX math mode.
%
% This file is hereby placed in the public domain.
%
% This is just intended to be a very plain chart of the Greek letters
% available in LaTeX math mode.
%
% Lower case letters are given in the leftmost column, and uppercase in
% the rightmost column. To write uppercase letters, capitalize the first
% letter of the command, ie. \Gamma, \Delta, \Theta, ... .
% Note that the uppercase letters displayed in grey, and the lowercase
% omicron, have no representation in LaTeX math mode as they are
% indistinguishable from Roman letters. When using these Greek letters in
% math formulae, it is advisable to set them in "roman" typeface in order to
% match the styling of other Greek letters in math mode. For example
% use {\rm B} for uppercase Beta, and {\rm o} for a lowercase omicron.
%
% Where two variants of the lowercase letter are available, the second
% is written by prepending 'var' to the command name, ie. \varepsilon,
% \vartheta, \varpi, ... .

% ChangeLog
% ---------
%
% Fri Mar  2 2007 Conrad Parker <conrad@metadecks.org>
%   * Set roman-equivalent letters in roman typeface {\rm }, as suggested
%     in "TeX for the Impatient", by Abrahams, Berry, and Hargreaves (1990)
%   * Fixed rendering of omicron (using roman o, O, not \o, \O)
%
% Mon Feb 12 2007 Conrad Parker <conrad@metadecks.org>
%   * first version
