On page http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_3/2.html
, after the table titled "Reactance of a 10 mH inductor:",

it appears that the text starts using the letter "n" in place of the greek letter "pi."

For example:

"In the reactance equation, the term “2πf” (everything on the right-hand side except the L) has a special meaning unto itself."

For the rest of the page, "n" continues to be used.

Above the table, the greek letter "pi" is used.

I haven't read any further, so I don't know if this continues on other pages.

I am Greek (from Cyprus actually) and you can use both symbols to represent the greek pi. However, the first symbol used for pi is more correct.
