Consider two examples:
- Gamma function written as Γ(n);
- gamma-butyrolactone written as γ-butyrolactone.
Is there a rule which says how the lowercase and capital Greek letters must be reflected when they are written in English? E.g. in the middle of a sentence capital Γ must be written as "Gamma", whereas γ -- as "gamma" only?
If not, how does one know for sure whether it is supposed to be a capital Greek letter or not, when only an English word for it is provided?
