In summary, the individual is looking for information on how to use special symbols, such as "& int ;" and "& theta ;", for drawing integrals and summations. They suggest trying "Tex" and provide a link for more information, and also recommend looking at examples of Tex usage in forum posts.

How does one do that? I did a seach an no luck. Its the function where one can draw intergrals and sumations.

It's not completely clear what you mean.

I suspect you are referring to the "special symbols" such as

"& int ;" ∫ or "& theta ;" θ . Notice that those symbols start with & and end with ; I put the spaces in so the code itself would show up.

You might also want to try "Tex", its more elaborate and information about it is given at

Also, when people type with the Tex, you can click on it and see how they wrote it...that works very well for learning how to write it, see examples of it...when I first learned it, I would go around the forums in search of post with Tex written in them and look at how they were done.
 

What is the purpose of writing an equation?

The purpose of writing an equation is to represent a relationship between different variables or quantities. It helps to describe and solve problems in a concise and mathematical manner.

How do I start writing an equation?

The first step in writing an equation is to identify the variables and their relationships. Then, use mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to express the relationship between the variables.

What are the essential components of an equation?

An equation must have an equal sign (=) to show that the two sides are equal. It should also include variables, constants, and mathematical operations. Additionally, an equation may have parentheses, exponents, and other symbols to represent more complex relationships.

What is the difference between an expression and an equation?

An expression is a mathematical phrase that contains variables, constants, and mathematical operations, but it does not have an equal sign. On the other hand, an equation is a mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two expressions using an equal sign.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when writing an equation?

Some common mistakes to avoid when writing an equation include forgetting to include an equal sign, using incorrect mathematical operations, not using parentheses when necessary, and forgetting to simplify the equation if possible. It is also essential to double-check the accuracy of the equation and make sure that all variables are clearly defined.
