[edit] Start

I am a wee bit tired at this time, so I only started this article. Pleas feel free to edit to your hearts content.

How about deletion?

Well, I did some reformatting. Let me know what you think. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 21:51, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

• I also did the same sort of touching-up to Greek letters used in mathematics. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 22:36, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 3D Geometry

I would change/add the 3D geometry entries for X, Y, and Z to not specify particular axes in 3D-space. There are a lot of different coordinate systems, and not all of them use Z to represent vertical, etc. For example, the "standard" one I use at work has X as north-south, Y as up-down, and Z as east-west.

[edit] Wow

I had no idea this subject would be so popular. Nor did I think the other topic I made would be that popular as well. Thanks to all who contributed to both of them. --Admiral Roo 17:17, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Include science and engineering uses

Just like proposed and agreed (but not yet extensively done) for the Greek letters, I started adding uses in science and enginieering.−Woodstone 20:41, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Shouldn't the title be updated? aCute 03:50, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] s represents: the distance traveled in mechanics equations

How is this justified?
