Maths Question

[Dave Cooper]

Well sort of - to the right of the posting box, just above the "Smilies", we have some other function tabs....one of them is for the Greek letters as used in Maths, Physics etc and I wanted to use the lower case "Chi".

Well, upper case is just an ordinary "X" and, lower case is just an ordinary "x". Disappointing - oh well, I'll just have to use plain old English instead !

I'm a bit confused, Dave.

Where is the rest of this thread?

Cheers

Dave is this what you mean?
Seems to work for me.
Max, see new block which comes up to right of post reply space.

Aha! That's very nifty.

[Dave Cooper]

The rest of the table looks ok, but not lower-case "Chi"...(the one I wanted to use).

If you Google the Greek letter "Chi" you'll see the correctly drawn character. What does it matter you may say ?

Well, in Maths /Physics 'our' letter "x" represents an unknown quantity. Chi, however, means something completely different. For example, as used in a "Chi-Squared" distribution.

Goodness knows what they do in Welsh schools - they don't even have an "x" in their alphabet !

Dave,
I see what you mean.
The characters come up as ‘x’ as in the table rather than with squiggly tails.
Thus the table hasn’t been populated correctly.

Barry - worrying isn't it ? They may even start tinkering with our own allffabbett next !! (oops, nearly slipped into a bit of Welsh there...)

Anyway, it's all Greek to me.
