Assign greek letters to variables

Assign greek letters to variables

Hello.

Is there any way to assign greek letters to variables....

For instance if I say A:=1, MathCad will assign the variable.

However when I try doing A:=alpha (using the greek symbols panel) it doesn;t work. When I type A= it tries to get me to assign the variable, and wont return the value of A to me.

I'm using mathcad 15.

Cheers

May be so:

If you type

A:=1

A:=alpha

Then if alpha is undefined, so is A (and the second assignment will show an error). That's why if you try evaluating A you get an assignment operator.

What did you expect it to return? The value 1?

Send please your sheet!

Maybe this will help:

P.S. What is the original formulation of the problem and what you want to get in a result?
