vocabulary简明 Alpha is the first letter in the Greek alphabet. Many college fraternities are named after two or three Greek letters, often including an alpha.
vocabulary扩展 Scientists frequently use alpha to mean the first item in a list or series, or the most important item in a group. An uppercase alpha looks identical to a capital A, while the lowercase version is similar but not identical to a small a: α. The Greek alpha comes from the Hebrew and Phoenician aleph, a form of the word for "ox," eleph, possibly because the character resembled an ox's head.
