Grain Size[edit]

Phi is a symbol used when describing grain size in sedimentology. Wentworth and Krumbian scales both use φ to describe the size of individual sediment particles.

This should be added to the list of scientific measurements that utilize phi.

alternate symbol[edit]

the first line "lowercase φ or ϕ" shows two identical symbols on my computer and it's not clear how they are distinguished. i'm not sure how you could guarantee that both different symbols are shown.

CHANGE "In philosophy, φ is often used as shorthand for a generic act. (Also in uppercase.)" to "In philosophy, φ (or Φ) is often used as shorthand for a generic act."

 Not done: The section is specifically split up into two sections: lowercase and uppercase, so I believe the note is sufficient, especially as it is listed in both sections. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
