Greek alphabet

(NL: Het Griekse alfabet)

Greek letters are regularly used in statistics (and mathematics in general). Since most students may not have learned Greek, we provide the letters of the Greek alphabet here.

In the left column we give the capital and small letter (and for some letters an alternative notation). The middle column is the name of the Greek letter and the right column is the equivalent in the Latin alphabet.
