Examples of sigma in the following topics:
-
- Sigma notation, denoted by the uppercase Greek letter sigma $\left ( \Sigma \right ),$ is used to represent summations—a series of numbers to be added together.
- One way to compactly represent a series is with sigma notation, or summation notation, which looks like this:
- The main symbol seen is the uppercase Greek letter sigma.
-
- In the equation mentioned above ($j^*= \sigma T^4$), plotting $j$ vs.
- Taking the logarithm of each side of the equations yields: $logj=log{(\sigma\tau ) }^4
$.
- $\begin{aligned} \log j&=4\log{(\sigma\tau ) } \\ &=4\log{(\sigma)}+4\log{(\tau ) } \\ &=4\log{(\tau ) }+4\log{(\sigma)} \end{aligned} $
-
- The notation for this operation is to use the capital greek letter sigma, $\Sigma$, following the general formula:
