My calculus teacher in college told me he had had a math professor at San Jose State who loved alpha. This prof would use alpha routinely for coefficients for polynomials (distinguishing among them with subscripts). He used them for the entries of general matrices or determinants (using double subscripts). I don’t know if he used them for tensor components, in which case the debauch of sub- and superscripts could have been awesome.
I’m itching to us xi now…
