X (named ex /ˈɛks/, plural exes) is the twenty-fourth letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. In Roman numerals it represents 10.
In mathematics, 'x' is commonly used as the name for an independent variable or unknown value. Modern tradition of using 'x' to represent unknowns was started by René Descartes in his La geometrie (1637).
It may also be used to signify the multiplication operation when a more appropriate glyph is unavailable. In mathematics, an "italicized x" (
) is often used to avoid potential confusion with the multiplication symbol. Note that in any font the glyph of "x" is not exactly the same as one of the multiplication sign.
In Ancient Greek, 'Χ' and 'Ψ' were among several variants of the same letter, used originally for /kʰ/ and later, in western areas such as Arcadia, as a simplification of the digraph 'ΧΣ' for /ks/. In the end, more conservative eastern forms became the standard of Classical Greek, and thus 'Χ' (Chi) stands for /kʰ/ (later /x/). However, the Etruscans had taken over 'Χ' from western Greek, and it therefore stands for /ks/ in Etruscan and Latin.
The letter 'Χ' ~ 'Ψ' for /kʰ/ was a Greek addition to the alphabet, placed after the Semitic letters along with phi 'Φ' for /pʰ/. (The variant 'Ψ' later replaced the digraph 'ΦΣ' for /ps/; omega was a later addition.) There has been much mostly fruitless debate about the origins of these added letters.
