How do you pronounce this symbol, /sci/? Personally, I pronounce

I say partial

>>7810034
partial derivative of

>>7810034
I switch between beta and omega as I feel it wise.

>>7810034
d

>>7810034
usually call it d or del

"d rond", roughly translates to "rounded d" or "curved d".
Sound better in french than in english tho (two syllabes and no awkward consecutive d sound)

>>7810034

I call it xis

six backwards

>>7810074
>beta
Sorry, I meant theta.

>>7810034
I say "par", short for partial.

par y by par x

I call it U+2202.

dell

>>7810239

I want to call it del, but isn't del also the nabla (upside down delta).

Partial is probably the least ambiguous
Partial d by partial x or just say "d d x"

>>7810083
Usually this.

>>7810092
Just call it 'dick' in English.

>>7810034
If you're talking to people, just use the full word for whatever you're doing:
>"partial x"
>"boundary X"
>"boundary map"
>I don't know any other common uses

>>7810034
theta as it looks like one \vartheta = [math] \vartheta [/math]
that is if there no real theta -- if there is then partial

>>7810034
I call it die out of habit

th-thanks vector calc prof

>>7810034
denotes a partial derivative
It's pronounced like the word "die"

>>7810034
I call it "dee". Because it's literally just a cursive letter d.

>>7810034
I say "round"

I switch between "del" and "dee" because in some contexts, it's the same thing as the differential operator for gradient, and in some contexts, it's more accessible for whoever you're talking to to just refer to it as a derivative.

They're the same thing though.

del is nabla you mongrels
the only correct answer is d, partial, or >>7810320 tbqh phams

>>7810098
Uhm actually write the symbol backwards and I think you will find it does not look like a six...

dabba

>>7810249
I'm a norwegian and we don't give a fuck about greek in maths because it doesn't matter how a failed country that can't even do math would call it.

Here and in deutschland the accepted term is del

>there are people who call letter π a "pie"

floppy d
2bh

>>7810034
how about delta fucktardz

>>7810034
Connecting homomorphism

>>7810092
Oh so that's where we got it from, French. I'd always wondered why we say "rond".

>>7811627
>there are people who call letter π a "pee"

>>7811600
true

>>7811748
that's at least right pronounciation

>>7810034

i just call it 'partial d'

>>7811600
its not even a greek letter dumbass.

its die, you fucking idiots.

>>7811652
>doesn't know what a delta looks like
>cant use google
>feels like his opinion matters...

>>7811788
op's pic is a delta m8, slight variation maybe, but thats normal for letters breh

p diddy

>>7811794
google delta.
copy and paste the symbol and see what comes up. hint: its not delta
its not a delta. there are no slight variations in letters on computers. ever notice that? fucking christ people are dumb as fuck sometimes. you are wrong.

>>7811806
ever heard of fonts?

>>7811806
theres no ambiguity with die. its not a del. its not a delta. its not a fucking dee (D). its not a cursive d. its not a "rond d", you fucking frog, thats too many syllables.

its die. short and sweet.

no wonder western civilization is going to shit. even the crouts and people of the herring stench are idiots.

technically its a stylized d, or rond d, in french, i guess. as per wikipedia

dee, delta, and del are something else entirely, at least in english. if youre language is german or norwegian maybe not.
i suppose die is a made up word, but its short and easy to say, which is good when the sybol comes up repeatedly in equations.
i suppose id tolerate "partial" also, even though its 2 syllables instead of 1. its technically correct and more descriptive

"Delta," but I speak really quietly because it's a lower case letter.

>>7811786
it is del you american swine

Backwards six

Are y'all retarded or something?

"Doo"

>>7810034
I think del is the proper name but everyone just calls it d

whoa how'd you get that backwards b

>>7811794
>>7811807
Delta is Δ for uppercase and δ or

>>7810034
del?
do people say this out loud?

>>7812472
so why did you post?

Delta

i am so glad i'm not in school anymore you guys are seriously fucking autistic

>>7812472
have you considered maybe looking at the right wikipedia page?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%88%82

"The symbol may be referred to as "del",[2] "dee",[3] "partial dee",[4] "partial", "curly dee",[5] or "dabba".[6]"

>>7812680
[math]\Delta[/math] kind of looks like del, too. Let's just make it easier and call everything that looks similar to delta or d a "del."

>>7812680
>"dabba"
Where did that come from?

yabba dabba doo

What is a partial derivative? Is it when you bave multiple variables and you take h limit of each separately?

>>7814350
You differentiate a function with multiple variables, but with respect to only one variable instead of all.

'Day'. Seems better than 'dee' (d) or 'del' (∇).

>>7816105
That's how one my physical chemistry profs pronounced it.

>>7816105
sounds like an inbred hillbilly trying to talk about maths

>>7816108
An Australian?

Just partial derivative.
