Gamma is the third letter of the Greek alphabet. In Greek it looks like Γ when it is big and γ when it is small, and people say it “GAM-uh.” Greek letters are used as names and labels in science and maths, so you will also hear gamma in longer names, like gamma rays — but those names start from this letter, the way “B” is just a letter until someone says “B vitamin.” In school, gamma is simply the third one, after alpha and beta.
