\varpi
The symbol \varpi is a variant of the Greek letter pi (π) and is used in various mathematical and scientific contexts. It is often employed in fields such as physics, astronomy, and mathematics to represent specific variables or constants, such as angular velocity, longitude of periapsis, or other specialized parameters.
Represents angular velocity in rotational dynamics, where L is angular momentum and r is the radius.
\varpi = \frac{L}{r}
Used in celestial mechanics to denote the change in longitude of periapsis between two points.
\Delta \varpi = \varpi_2 - \varpi_1
Integral involving \varpi over a full rotation, common in physics and engineering problems.
\int_0^{2\pi} \varpi \, d\theta
