Psi (Greek) Updated 2025-07-16
As if it weren't enough, there's also a Cyrillic script psi that is slightly different. Life's great.
Quadratic form Updated 2025-07-16
Multivariate polynomial where each term has degree 2, e.g.:
is a quadratic form because each term has degree 2:
but e.g.:
is not because the term has degree 3.
More generally for any number of variables it can be written as:
There is a 1-to-1 relationship between quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms. In matrix representation, this can be written as:
where contains each of the variabes of the form, e.g. for 2 variables:
Strictly speaking, the associated bilinear form would not need to be a symmetric bilinear form, at least for the real numbers or complex numbers which are commutative. E.g.:
But that same matrix could also be written in symmetric form as:
so why not I guess, its simpler/more restricted.

Ciro Santilli appreciates this concept of "remembering the suffering of others" a lot due to Ciro Santilli's self perceived compassionate personality and Ciro Santilli's cheapness.
Quantization of a real scalar field Updated 2025-07-16
This is one of the first examples in most quantum field theory.
It usually does not involve any forces, just the interpretation of what the quantum field is.
