Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting

[Hurkyl]

tell me what I should have done to make the line spacing and font size more consistent.

Believe it or not, the font size is consistent.

If you want better spacing, maybe you could put all of the equations in a single tex tag. Check the first page for an example.

Edwin,

Since you seem to be addicted to nesting pieces of TeX inside other pieces of TeX, I will advise you that you can use whitespace inside the [ tex ] tags to make your code easier to write (and read). In other words, code like this is fine (click the image to see the code):

$$\frac{ \frac{3}{4} }{ \frac{1}{2} }$$

[Edwin]

Thanks Warren! That was a helpful bit of information :)


Best Regards,

Edwin

If you're still working on your TeX identifier for the newsgroups, here's a good one to tweak it on:

[justintime]

let me have a try!
$$a=b^3$$

 

[BobG]

We'll give it a try (doesn't look to promising in preview mode) But it almost works once posted.


$$\ddot\lambda + \omega^2_E \left(\frac{R_E}{a}\right)^2$$

Now, that's what we're looking for. Takes a little time to get the feel for the order and size, etc.

Bob:

It should work just fine in preview mode. Some browsers may cache images, and you may have to force them not to.

Hi, I have a question concerning the following Latex/(Tex?) commands:
I tried to make a listing with the following command structure (within the environment delimited by the tex-brackets):
\begin{enumerate}
\item ...
\item ...
\end{enumerate}
This has for me always produced a numbered list for each \item included,
but when I tried it on PF, the numbers failed to appear, and the items did not appear on separate lines
(A similar result was with "itemize" rather than "enumerate", which usually have produced dots rather than numbers in front of the items included)

So, what's the listing commands I should use here?

 

[Vance]

$$\ddot\lambda + \omega^2_E \left(\frac{R_E}{a}\right)^2$$

 

[Vance]

Copy and paste works fine

 

[Vance]

I would like to make a question:
I know of Latex when using Linux system of my school, but there isnot Latex for Windows, right ? If I would like to practise learning Latex but in Windows, that is impossible right ?

Please help me, please forgive my newie question because I am actually a newie...Please...
:)
Thanks in advance

Look into a package called MikTeX for windows.

Thanks Warren a lot...

With MikTeX installed, look at a Windows gui called TeXnic Center, which may indeed have MikTeX along with it. The link on tug.org was broken when I looked last, but I have been extrememly happy with it. I have also used WinEdit.

Testing:

$$\mathcal{L}\{y\}=Y$$
$$\mathcal{L}\{y'\}=sY-y(0)$$
$$\mathcal{L}\{y''\}=s^2Y-sy(0) -y'(0)$$

 

[VNmaths]

Just testing

$$\int f(x)dx , x^2+y^2+z^2=1$$

Te sientas entre la gente
Cierras tu ojos
Y suenas que soy tuyo
Pero yo no siquiera se que estas ahi
Me gustaria tenerte entre mis brazos amor​

 

[Pattielli]

Oh it can be centered...:sm:

Testing

$$\tau/=E/m$$

How can I do a VECTOR?

Hi,

I need a BIG VECTOR. Something like that

------->
<a,b,c,d>

How can I do this? I tried \vec but does not fires. Tnx for any help

Use \overrightarrow{ ... vector goes here ... }

 

[emporium]

$$\omega=\sqrt\frac{GM}{r^3}$$

$$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$

$$f(x)=f(0)+f'(0)x+\frac{f''(0)x^2}{2!}+\frac{f'''(o)x^3}{3!}$$

$$\int{u\frac{dv}{dx}}=uv-\int{\frac{du}{dx}v}$$

$$\int{\frac{2x+1}{x^2-x-6}}=\int{\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B}{x-3}}=\frac{1}{2}A\ln{(x+2)} - \frac{1}{3}B\ln{(x-3)}$$

$$\frac{dy}{dx}=\lambda y\Rightarrow\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{1}{\lambda y}\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{\lambda}\int{\frac{1}{y}dy}\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{\lambda}\ln{(y)}+C$$

$$\Rightarrow\lambda x-C=\ln{y}\Rightarrow e^{\lambda x}\times e^{-C}=y\Rightarrow y=Ae^{\lambda x}$$

$$y=\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{6}x\Rightarrow \sin y=\frac{1}{6}x\Rightarrow 6\sin y=x\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dy}=6\cos y$$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{6 \cos y}$$

$$\Rightarrow = \frac{1}{6 \sqrt{1-\sin^{2}y}}$$

$$\Rightarrow = \frac{1}{6\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{36}x^2}}$$

$$\Rightarrow = \frac{1}{ \sqrt { 36 - x^2 }}$$

$$\int{x^3 \sqrt{3x^{4}-2} dx}$$

 

[Pattielli]

$$\overrightarrow{(S,U,N,N,I,E)}$$

[alexepascual]

I have not read the whole thread ( I apologize) and I am totally new to Latex.
Typing the latex and memorizing the language sounds like a lot of work. I wonder if there is any shareware or freeware program with which I can write the equations by drag and drop and have the program write the latex for me.
I'll appreciate your help.
--Alex--

 

[TALewis]

It's not really a whole lot of work. Start small and learn as you go. There are really only a handful of structures you need to know in order to get started. Learn by example: you can click on any equation posted in any thread and see what the person typed to create that image.

Another option I think may be the Equation Object included in WinWord which can also be somewhat similar help for you...(smiling)

I believe that the Equation Editor does not export LaTeX.
One has to use MathType http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/.


Other LaTeX editors
WinEdt http://www.winedt.com/
WinTeX http://www.tex-tools.de/main.html
WinShell http://www.winshell.de/

Maple and Mathematica can also export LaTeX.

 

[alexepascual]

Thanks guys for your information,
MathType sounds interesting. But as it costs $119, I downloaded TeXaid (form the same company). I'll explore the other products when I have the time.
I am a little confused by the statement on some of these products that they are not a LaTex system. It appears that you need two pieces of software that will work in conjucntion but I still don't understand what each one does.
I think TexAid should allow me to produce LaTex code to paste into the forum.
When I register for classes in fall, I'll buy Mathematica at academic price.
Thanks again,
--Alex--

 

[ahrkron]

Before buying Mathematica, ask in your University about it. Many universities have campus-wide licenses that allow students to use Mathematica from the University's network, and it is often the case that such benefits are not "common knowledge" among students.
