\varDelta

The symbol \varDelta represents the uppercase Greek letter Delta. It is commonly used in mathematics and science to denote a change or difference in a certain quantity, such as a change in temperature, pressure, or any other measurable variable. In the context of calculus, it often signifies a finite difference.

Examples

Represents the change in the variable x between two points.

\varDelta x = x_2 - x_1

Denotes the change in temperature from an initial state to a final state.

\varDelta T = T_{final} - T_{initial}

Used in calculus to represent the change in the function value as x changes by \varDelta x.

\varDelta y = f(x+\varDelta x) - f(x)
