Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting

TALewis

Or even better, use \tan to make the tangent function to appear in upright letters:

[tex]e^{- \int \tan x \, dx}[/tex]

I knew it didn't quite look right. And I was looking so smart, too.

Math Is Hard

They both look lovely. And it helped me get my math question answered. Thanks!

This is a test. I am pasting LaTex code from TexAide. Let's see if it works.

[latex]
\left\langle {\phi }
\mathrel{\left | {\vphantom {\phi \Psi }}
\right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace}
{\Psi } \right\rangle = \int {\phi ^ * } \left( x \right)\psi \left( x \right)dx
[\latex]

OK, It didn't work.
I believe the text with percent signs at the beginning should be comments. I hope that is not interfeering.
But I do have the Latex code enclosed in the Latex delimiters. So, what's wrong?
I'll appreciate your help.
I'll next post just the LaTex part (to reduce the number of variables) and see what happens.

Second trial:
[latex]
\left\langle {\phi }
\mathrel{\left | {\vphantom {\phi \Psi }}
\right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace}
{\Psi } \right\rangle = \int {\phi ^ * } \left( x \right)\psi \left( x \right)dx
[\latex]

[tex]\alpha[\tex]
[tex]x^2\sqrt{x}[\tex]

Alex,

The tags are [ tex ] and [ /tex ], not [ tex ] and [ \tex ]. Forward slash, not backslash.

Thanks, Warren
Let's see:
[tex]
\left\langle {\phi }
\mathrel{\left | {\vphantom {\phi \Psi }}
\right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace}
{\Psi } \right\rangle = \int {\phi ^ * } \left( x \right)\psi \left( x \right)dx
[/tex]
Great!

When I "preview post" to check my code, I am only allowed to preview once. Otherwise, the preview does not change. Because of this, I have been reverting to "post" all over again. What can I do?

It's your browser, not the site. Tell it to stop caching images that way.

This is a test

[ tex ]
\nabla \times A = \left( {{{\partial A_z } \over {\partial y}} - {{\partial A_y } \over {\partial z}}} \right)i + \left( {{{\partial A_x } \over {\partial z}} - {{\partial A_z } \over {\partial x}}} \right)j + \left( {{{\partial A_y } \over {\partial x}} - {{\partial A_x } \over {\partial y}}} \right)k
[ /tex ]

Another, cause it sure isn't working yet from MathType:
[latex]
\[
\nabla \times A = \left( {\frac{{\partial A_z }}{{\partial y}} - \frac{{\partial A_y }}{{\partial z}}} \right)i + \left( {\frac{{\partial A_x }}{{\partial z}} - \frac{{\partial A_z }}{{\partial x}}} \right)j + \left( {\frac{{\partial A_y }}{{\partial x}} - \frac{{\partial A_x }}{{\partial y}}} \right)k
\]
[/latex]

Maybe i got it !

[latex]
\[
\nabla \times \,A = \frac{1}{{rsin\theta }}\left[ {\frac{{\partial (A_\phi sin\theta )}}{{\partial \theta }} - \frac{{\partial A_\theta }}{{\partial \phi }}} \right]\hat r + \frac{1}{r}\left[ {\frac{1}{{sin\theta }}\frac{{\partial A_r }}{{\partial \phi }} - \frac{{\partial (rA_\phi )}}{{\partial r}}} \right]\hat \theta + \frac{1}{r}\left[ {\frac{{\partial (rA_\theta )}}{{\partial r}} - \frac{{\partial A_r }}{{\partial \theta }}} \right]\hat \phi
\]
[/latex]

Cool ! But there seems to be a limit on width. I just type it into MathType
and choose the LaTeX 2 translator, then add latex in front and /latex
after (both in []), it works ! kinda.

To preview beyond the first time, [on IE6] I do a "refresh". It tells me that it has to resend information in the forms. When I say okay, the images are refreshed to reflect the latest TeX-rendering changes.

[tex]
\eq x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} } {2a}
[/tex]

...wow - cool!

Just out of curiosity...whats the backend for conversion? Is it open source (I haven't seen the documentation in detail)?

We have color?
