c for circle or curve,
d for diameter or depth or dimension,
f for foci,
l for length or line,
m for modulus (= slope),
r for radius,
v for volume,
w for width,
x for horizontal coordinate,
y for vertical coordinate,
z for third orthogonal coordinate in 3-d geometry.
and finally, pi for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
