The Ancient-Greek Alphabet: The Ancient-Greek Alphabet comprises 24 letters: one letter for each hour of the day. The Ancient-Greek Alphabet: Uppercase: Lowercase: Ancient-Greek Letter Name: Ancient-Greek Letter Name Transliterated: I.P.A. Symbol: Α α άλφα álpha short = /ɑ/ ; long = /aː/ ; /ɑː/ ...

Figure 1:  The 26th letter of the English Alphabet, 'z'.  I scripted this in svg.      Figure 2:   The SVG image that I scripted. In Shakespeare's play, King Lear there is the following quote: Thou whoreson zed, thou unnecessary letter! In English, the phonemes produced by the letter, 'z', can also be produced by the letter, 's'. Hence, why Shakespeare seemes to consider the letter, 'z,' "worthless" in Act 2 Scene 2 of King Lear You may view the code of this SVG image at my Codepen account.

Introduction to Modern Geometry Modern Geometry: The Directed Line Segment In Euclidean Geometry, line segments possess only magnitude, and not direction. A B      Figure 1:   In Euclidean Geometry, only the magnitude of line segments is considered. As we can see in Figure 1 , in Euclidean Geometry, the line segment: |AB| would be considered equal to the line segment: |BA| . However, this is not the case with Modern Geometry. In Modern Geometry, line segments not only possess magnitude, but direction also. A B      Figure 2:   In Modern Geometry, line segments possess direction as well as magnitude. In Modern Geometry: |AB| is termed: ‘a directed line segment’ . ...

There Exists There_exists_symbol      Figure 1:   A there exists symbol that I coded in SVG.      Figure 2:   The SVG code that generates the vector image depicted in Figure 1 .      Figure 3:   What the above image, depicted in Figure 1 looks like when exported as a .PNG file. I believe that I could program better if I knew more Mathematics, and — to that end — I am following some Engineering-Mathematics courses on YouTube.  For instance: the more plane and Cartesian Geometry that I learn, the better I am able to script images in SVG. The symbol depicted in Figure 1 means: There exists . You may view the source code for this there-exists symbol at my Codepen  account.
