I changed the part under "Notation". It surely is not best as it is now, but the old one was surely wrong:
- is _not_ a capital letter "Phi", but still a lower case character; compare: to .
- is about as widely spread as , e.g. the normal Wikipedia and more than half of my books prefer . --ZetaX 10:58, 30 January 2008 (EST)
