Template:DELTA
Δ
Purpose[edit]
This template produces the string "Δ" as a shortcut to using the HTML entity Δ and/or various other operating-system- or web-browser-dependent input methods for producing the same Unicode symbol U+0394 (Δ).
Note. This symbol is not recommended by Unicode for use in mathematics as an operator. Unicode has a mathematical operators block distinct from the Greek & Coptic block; their operators block has a U+2206 (∆) for use as "Laplace operator difference, forward increment, forward difference, symmetric difference". In practice, this distinction is not always respected.[1]
Syntax[edit]
{{DELTA}}
Example[edit]
Rise over run is represented by <sup>{{DELTA}}Y</sup>/<sub>{{DELTA}}X</sub> in introductory mathematics.
Rise over run is represented by ΔY/ΔX in introductory mathematics.
