Here we have an equation in this picture:

Well, how to read the equation?

(The pronunciations of Greek symbols are, unfortunately, not very clear for me. Because I'm not familiar enough with the handwriting variations of them.)

@oristarA,
Ha! Me too, JTT.

Let's see...

Delta x times Delta p is greater than or equal to ??? over 2 (no clue on that one). Delta is sometimes read as "The change in"

Psi (pronounced sigh) is approximately equal to e to the i times kbar times xbar minus wt power

i times ??? times the derivative of Psi is equal to a bunch of gobble-di-gook that has something to do with the gradient of something.

I have no idea

@JPB,
Thank you JPB.

What over 2 was the true one that I was seeking answer here.

Now we still need waiting for someone to come.Wink

Thank you both.

@oristarA,

It's more like a small kappa than anything, but not quite:

We need a specialist to come.

@McTag,
No, it's a small Zeta, it's the way many Greeks handwrite it.

Yes, that's the one:

I can check out with a Greek engineer tomorrow in Athens but I'm sure it is...
