Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about software for displaying mathematical expressions, seeking clarification on the term "display."
  • Another participant suggests that web browsers can display mathematical expressions and proposes MS Word's equation editor and LaTeX as potential solutions for writing formulae.
  • A different participant provides a link to a resource for software recommendations, indicating that specific needs may lead to various suggestions.
  • One participant expresses a need for software that allows typing and printing of expressions.
  • A ranking of software options is presented by another participant, listing LaTeX as the top choice for heavy-duty tasks, followed by MathType and MS Word's equation editor, emphasizing that the best choice depends on user requirements.
  • A participant acknowledges the suggestions and expresses intent to try the recommended options.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present multiple software options and preferences, indicating that there is no consensus on a single best solution, as choices depend on specific user needs.

What do you mean by "display"?

Your web browser can display mathematical expressions.

Are you looking for a word-processing kind of application so you can WRITE formulae?

If so, MS Word includes an equation editor (not very good, but it works). If you're serious, LaTeX is a good option. Alternatively, can buy various packages which do that kind of thing.
 
If it's the other "display" can start for example from the one below ... if you got something specific people can flood you with recommendations.

ehh, something that can let me type out these expressions and print it.
 
"Ranking" IMO :

1) LaTeX http://www.latex-project.org/ (I'm using MikTex with TeXnicCenter since last week or so)
2) MathType http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/
3) Word's etc. default eq. editor

... depends quite a bit on what you need ... heavy duty stuff and 'best' print out 1), want the 'best' integrable to word 2) ... need to do a few here and there can do e.g. with the word default editor.
 
Thanks for your reply. Ill give it a try!
