Abreviations and symbols in science are both used as a shorthand system for frequently referenced concepts in writing. Symbols are used in mathematical equations to stand for constants or variables. As examples:
In Chemical reactions: NaCl is table salt
- In Chemical equations: 2H2 +O2 -> 2 H2O
- In mathematical equations: E=MC^2
- In science literature: LSD is used in place of lysergic acid diethyl amide
- As constants in physics equations: density is replaced by ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho)
