In the history of
science, the symbol “
θ∆ics” was
James Maxwell,
William Thomson, and
Peter Tait’s personal communication shorthand symbol for
thermodynamics. [1] In his letters, Kelvin, in particular, used phrases such as “2nd law of θΔ” or “2nd law of θΔcs”, among others. [2] The three of them likely used the symbol as a combination sound representation of
thermo-dynam-ics, i.e. "theta-delta-ics", in association with the symbol delta "
∆" having had a long history in science as the symbol of heat or fire. [3]
In the early phases of the development of the science of thermodynamics, from the 1840s into the early 20th century, aside from θ∆ics, thermodynamics went by such names as "
energetics", "
mechanical theory of heat", or "
theory of heat" among others. In modern use, θ∆ics is the symbol for the
Institute of Human Thermodynamics and is used as the bottom page icon for the
Encyclopedia of Human Thermodynamics. 
The symbol

is used in the logo of the
SklogWiki (in conjuction with
S = K ln W) as shown adjacent. [4]
Human thermodynamicsIn extrapolation, in respect to the science of
human thermodynamics, knowing that Mars "♂" and Venus "♀" symbol symbolically represent man and woman, respectively, and knowing that the triple parallel line symbol "≡" is a representation of
bonding between
molecules, such as between
human molecules, then the symbolic representation shorthand for human thermodynamics may be:
Human (♂≡♀) Thermodynamics (θΔics) or "♂≡♀ θΔics"References 1. Mahon, Basil. (2003).
