Also known as: nu, uppercase nu, big nu, greek nu, greek n, n greek letter, greek letter n.

The Greek capital letter Nu (Ν) coincides visually with the Latin capital N, so it is seldom used as a separate symbol in mathematical writing. When it appears, it generally serves as a label for a set or function in a Greek-letter context. The lowercase nu is common in physics for frequency, where it typically denotes the number of cycles per unit time of a periodic phenomenon.

The lowercase Greek letter nu (ν) is used across mathematics and physics for several conventional roles. It commonly denotes frequency in wave mechanics, kinematic viscosity in fluid dynamics, and degrees of freedom in statistics. Care is taken in handwriting to distinguish it from the Latin letter v, which it closely resembles.
