SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on creating a physics and math website, emphasizing the need for a free hosting service that supports mathematical equations. Users can export equations from Microsoft Word using the Export Equations command to formats like GIF, EPS, WMF, or PICT for web integration. For drawing geometrical figures, Inkscape is recommended as a suitable tool. Additionally, Microsoft FrontPage includes a wizard for website uploads, and users can also utilize an FTP client for file transfers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Word and the Export Equations command
  • Basic understanding of HTML for web content integration
  • Knowledge of Inkscape for creating geometrical figures
  • Experience with FTP clients for file uploads
NEXT STEPS
  • Research free web hosting services that support mathematical content
  • Learn how to use Inkscape for advanced geometrical figure creation
  • Explore Microsoft FrontPage's features for website management
  • Understand FTP client usage for efficient file uploads
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, students, and content creators interested in developing a physics and math website, particularly those seeking to incorporate mathematical equations and graphical content effectively.

I am thinking of making a website which introduces ideas in modern physics. I am thinking of making it as self-contained as possible, and I would have 2 sections, one physics and one math. But the problem is, which free hoster supports equations? Because I did the material in Ms word using mathtype. Also, is there a programme which would allow me to draw gemetrical figures and show it on the website? Thanks a lot. Also, I am thinking of using frontpage, how would i upload my website from there?

I did a google search and found this:

"users of Microsoft Word can automatically export all equations into a folder as GIF, EPS, WMF, or PICT, using the Export Equations command."

Therefore you'll can just export the equations to a gif and put them into your html content.

For drawing, I like this program:

Frontpage should have a wizard for uploading a website. I would check the help documentation.

You can also upload your files to the website by using an ftp client.
