[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 207516, member: 12496"] Sigma has more meaning that just a Greek letter. Greek letters are often used as symbols in scientific/physics/math equations, and can take on meaning associated with them. Pi for circles for example, and Gamma for video correction, and Sigma is associated with Standard Deviation in Statistics, and from that, for quality manufacturing processes (meaning, defect free goals). See Google for Six Sigma (six standard deviations, 6x). But for the company, it is surely just a name. [/QUOTE]
