Greek letters in mathematics are derived from Phoenician letters, written from right to left, with only consonants. The vowels in Greek were developed, and the Greeks added vowels. Because the Greek writing tool was a wax board, sometimes the first line was written from right to left, and the last line was written from left to right, which became the so-called "cultivated land" writing, and then gradually evolved into all writing from left to right.

For example, the first letter is "α, α", which means the beginning, and the last letter is "ω, ω" ω, which means the end.

The direction of the letters is also reversed. The Romans introduced the Greek alphabet, changed it into Latin alphabet with a little change, and it became popular all over the world. Greek letters are widely used in academic fields, such as mathematics. Cyrillic letters also evolved from Greek letters. The English word alphabet (letter) comes from the alphabetum in vulgar Latin, and the alphabetum comes from the Greek word α λ φ α β ο ν (transliteration of Beton), which is the synthesis of the first two Greek letters α(Alpha) and β(Beta).

The correlation is as follows:

Greek letters are widely used in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy and other disciplines. Greek alphabet, similar to Latin alphabet and Cyrillic alphabet, is a complete phonemic text. Greek alphabet is the earliest writing system in the world in which letters represent vowels and phonemes.

Cyrillic alphabet and Georgian alphabet used in Russian, Ukrainian, etc. Are all developed from the Greek alphabet. Some Greek words related to Greek letters have entered many languages. For example, the word Delta comes from the Greek letter δ, because the shape of δ is a triangle.
