About the greek small letter tau symbol

The minuscule tau is the twentieth letter of the Greek alphabet, corresponding to the sound of 't'. In mathematics and the physical sciences, it is a common symbol for torque, the time constant in exponential decay, and the proper time in relativity, as well as for the golden ratio in some contexts.

As a letter of the Greek script, it appears in modern and ancient Greek writing, where it is also used as a numeral for 300. Its uppercase form is the capital tau (Τ), which is visually identical to the Latin letter T.
