“Mu”

*forefather of the english ‘M’*

[OPTION] + [m]

µm represents a ‘millionth’ of a ‘meter’

(and we pronounce it “micro-meter”)

(uppercase Μ, lowercase μ; Ancient Greek μῦ [mŷː], Greek: μι or μυ—both [mi])

Mu is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the voiced bilabial nasal IPA: [m].

In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40.[3] Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water, which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for water, to become 𐤌img (mem). Letters that derive from mu include the Roman M and the Cyrillic М.

Names[edit]
Ancient Greek[edit]
In Ancient Greek, the name of the letter was written μῦ and pronounced [mŷː]

Modern Greek[edit]
In Modern Greek, the letter is spelled μι and pronounced [mi]. In polytonic orthography, it is written with an acute accent: μί.[4][5]

Use as symbol[edit]
The lowercase letter mu (μ) is used as a special symbol in many academic fields. Uppercase mu is not used, because it appears identical to Latin M.

Measurement[edit]
the SI prefix micro-, which represents one millionth, or 10−6. Lowercase letter “u” is often substituted for “μ” when the Greek character is not typographically available; for example the unit “microfarad”, correctly “μF”, is often rendered as “uF” or “ufarad” in technical documents.[6]
the micron “μ”, an old unit now named the micrometre and denoted “μm”
Mathematics[edit]
“μ” is conventionally used to denote certain things; however, any Greek letter or other symbol may be used freely as a variable name.

Physics and engineering[edit]
In classical physics and engineering:

the coefficient of friction (also used in aviation as braking coefficient (see Braking action))
reduced mass in the two-body problem
Standard gravitational parameter in celestial mechanics
linear density, or mass per unit length, in strings and other one-dimensional objects
permeability in electromagnetism

the rotor advance ratio, the ratio of aircraft airspeed to rotor-tip speed in rotorcraft[8][9]
the pore water pressure in saturated soil
In particle physics:

the elementary particles called the muon and antimuon
the proton-to-electron mass ratio
In thermodynamics:

the chemical potential of a system or component of a system
Computer science[edit]
In evolutionary algorithms:

μ, population size from which in each generation λ offspring will generate (the terms μ and λ originate from evolution strategy notation)
In type theory:

Chemistry[edit]
In chemistry:

the prefix given in IUPAC nomenclature for a bridging ligand
Biology[edit]
In biology:

A class of Immunoglobulin heavy chain that defines IgM type Antibodies
Pharmacology[edit]
In pharmacology:

Orbital mechanics[edit]
In orbital mechanics:

Standard gravitational parameter of a celestial body, the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M
planetary discriminant, represents an experimental measure of the actual degree of cleanliness of the orbital zone, a criterion for defining a planet. The value of μ is calculated by dividing the mass of the candidate body by the total mass of the other objects that share its orbital zone.
Music[edit]
Mu chord
Electronic musician Mike Paradinas runs the label Planet Mu which utilizes the letter as its logo, and releases music under the pseudonym μ-Ziq, pronounced “music”
Used as the name of the school idol group μ’s, pronounced “muse”, consisting of nine singing idols in the anime Love Live! School Idol Project
Official fandom name of Kpop group f(x), appearing as either MeU or ‘μ’
Hip-hop artist Muonboy has taken inspiration from the particle for his stage name and his first EP named Mu uses the letter as its title.
Cameras[edit]
The Olympus Corporation manufactures a series of digital cameras called Olympus μ [mju:][10] (known as Olympus Stylus in North America)

Linguistics[edit]
In phonology:

mora
In syntax:

μP (mu phrase) can be used as the name for a functional projection.[11]
In Celtic linguistics:

/μ/ can represent an Old Irish nasalized labial fricative of uncertain articulation, the ancestor of the sound represented by Modern Irish mh.
