Greek and Special Symbols
If the Show Subscripts and Greek Symbols option in the Preferences dialog is selected, then EES variables having Greek alphabet names will be displayed as Greek symbols. If the variable name consists entirely of capital letters and if the upper case Greek symbol differs from the Arabic letter, then the upper case Greek symbol will be displayed; otherwise the lower case Greek symbol will be displayed. The table below indicates the conversion.
