Common Uses
α alpha -
β beta coefficient of volume expansion
γ gamma specific weight, shearing strain
δ delta the italicized δ may be used in front of a property (typically represented by a letter, usually a capital letter), in place of the letter d. In this case δ is used to designate inexact differentials (in contrast to d for exact differentials). This may be encountered frequently in thermodynamics
