What does that symbol that looks like a capital A with a circle around it mean?

I think it’s usually associated with goths.

Anarchy.

It is the abolishment of government, but doesn’t necessarily mean chaos. There are people that believe in anarchy as a form of life, where there are no rules or laws, but everyone abides by unspoken guidelines (sort of). For example, people wouldn’t go around beating each other up, everyone is expected to regulate their own behaviour. It goes off the assumption the people are inherently good, as opposed to inherently evil.

Now it’s most often associated with “punks” or “goths”, although punk was really more of a time period than anything, but I won’t get started on that…

Phi is a Greek letter, just like “pi”, “sigma”, “alpha” and “beta” are names of Greek letters. In mathematics, phi is most popularly used to represent the golden ratio, which is the irrational constant (1+√5)/2. But it’s used for other things too, like one of the angles in spherical coordinates, or the totient function. It all depends on the context. BUT…since you say this showed up in a differential equations class, I really doubt your professor was using it for the golden ratio. He probably just used it for some sort of function, maybe an eigenfunction.

It is the symbol for Anarchists.

They think that they are being unique but are in reality just like all the other depressed kids.

If they want to be unique in todays world, they should dress nice and wear pants around their waists instead of around their butts.

They are just conforming to different ways.
