The letter \gls{pi} is used to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The letter \gls{sigma} is used to represent summation. \chapter{Roman Letters Used in Mathematics} Some information about \glspl{romanletter}. The letter \gls{e} is the unique real number such that the derivative of the function $e^x$ is the function itself. The letter \gls{C} represents Euler's constant. \printglossaries \end{document}
