I use the whole alphabet and more:

a, b, c, d for constants
e is Euler‘s constant
f, g, h for functions
i, j, k, l for indices but can be used for natural or whole numbers
m, n for natural numbers but can be used as indices
o, p, q, r, unreserved although I sometimes use p and q in a rational equation like: p / q
s, t function parameters
u, v, w vectors
x, y, z variables

Greek letters for angles or literally anything else.

P (And E) are for stochastic functions.

As uppercase, yes

Like i, j, and k joining programming

Good ole O^3 complexity

does not need any more fucking exposure, it's already a vowel. Not everyone can be "E"

EDIT : i even gets a variety of forms like i, ı and í.

Now add another reaction image with the caption "How 𝕏 felt after it was kidnapped from Set Theory to represent nazis".

How did you do this

Do what?

The « x »

Like I said, 𝕏 is sometimes used to represent a mathematical set. This means it that it has a Unicode codepoint, specifically U+1D54F.

Ohhh ok ty

Took me way too way tlomg to realize this wasn't about tech companies . . . Twitter was part of google? Who owns Math?

The alphabet when i'm about to program some math algorithm using long ass descriptive variable names:

If I can decide myself I usually like using 'abc...' just feels more nice :3
