Why would he want -another- chart when he said there was already one
in the front of the book?
The answer to what they mean is that they're just symbols used to
represent numbers or functions or things like that, just like with our
alphabet. However, there are places where it is probably more
conventional to use the Greek alphabet. Like in trig, you might be
seeing theta used a lot to represent angles.
