What does theta mean in mathematics? Where does it come from?
Can you explain to me what theta means in mathematics and where it comes from?
Theta is a letter of the Greek alphabet commonly used as a variable in mathematical equations to represent an angle. It is commonly used in trigonometry and calculus. The origin of the symbol itself is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated from the Phoenician letter Teth.
