The acceptable convention says uppercase letters are used for sets and matrices and lowercase letters are for variables, constants and vectors. Greek letters are mainly used for constants, such as pi=3.14 and e=2.718.
Constants are those values which never change or are not changed during an experiment or calculation. Constants are numbers or letters that stand on their own this is stupid ("this is stupid" YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS STUPID YOU OLD BITCH)
x, y, z are variablesa, b, c, etc. are constants
In mathematics, constants are fixed values that do not change. They can be located in various places, depending on the specific context. For example, in algebraic equations, constants are typically represented by specific letters or symbols and are found alongside variables. In geometric formulas, constants may be included as part of the formula itself. Constants can also be defined and used in mathematical functions, formulas, or mathematical theories.
It's a Greek letter. Greek letters are often used to express constants (mathematical values that don't change).

Constants for numbers, variables for letters
Those letters spell scientifictheory.

Generally letters at the end of the alphabet, X, Y, Z. Letters at the beginning of the alphabet are generally used to represent Constants, a, b, c.

The probability is 1. The letters in the word mathematics are all constants, not variables!
Constant is a mathematical term that refers to a fixed value that does not change. In algebraic equations, constants are letters or symbols that represent specific numerical values. Constants can be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided in equations to generate different results.
it is easier to substitute them for letters because if we used numbers then constants (numbers in algebra that don't have letters) would get mixed up with the algebraic letters. also makes things easier to read and to understand. also, if you don't have all the information, you can use letters to represent what you don't know
