LaTeX workshop - Math alphabets

A mathematician uses different kinds of math alphabets:

blackboard

typeset with \mathbb{} (you need to add the amsfonts or amssymb package)

\mathbb{ABCDEFGH}

gothic

typeset with \mathfrak{} (you need to add the amsfonts or amssymb package)

\mathfrak{ABCDEFGHabcdefgh1234567}

calligraphic

typeset with \mathcal{}

\mathcal{ABCDEFGH}

so-called RSFR fonts

typeset with (you need to add mathrsfs package)

\mathscr{ABCDEFGH}

Notice that there are only capital letters in blackboard, calligraphic and RSFR alphabets.

From time to time it is also necessary to use some letters from the

Greek alphabet:

\alpha \beta \gamma \delta \epsilon \zeta \eta
