One of the most useful thing in 'real' latex and not just this forum implementation og the math is defining new comands. that new you just define your bra and kets: \newcommand{\ket}[1]{\, |#1\rangle} \newcommand{\bra}[1]{\langle #1 |\,} \langle \phi|\land |\phi\rangle

The amsmath package also gives you 5 matrix environments: \documentclass[article]{memoir} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4\\ 5 & 6 & 7 & 8\\ 9 &10 &11 &12\\ 13&14 &15 &16 \end{pmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4\\ 5 & 6 & 7 &...

Do take a look at paragraph 2.11.6 in http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf Besides that, i made a tex document with a bunch of tables and tabulars. they are not all pretty, and some text is in danish. But if you compile it, and watch the output together with the input...

The link to it is in post #6 above. It workes for higher versions of excel too. I get a runtime error in excel 2002, but it still works.

to make small tables is easy -- larger, more complicated ones can be tricky to type out (i always only used emacs+auctex to write tex so i do not know how to do it in texnic center), and that is where the plugin to excel ot calc comes in. with them you can convert an table made in on of those...

It does not matter what program you used. If it will not compile it will not compile no matter the program you are useing. First of all, *never* put any enviroments around, or outside your main document -- just doesn't work. \normalsize also does nothing for you in a math enviroment. a few...

When you write articles, reports and such, you take much more advantage of latex than the forum does. here its just a mean to write readable mathematics. So what 'itex' tries to do is to mimic standard inline math ($ $) and 'tex' looks more like displaystyle math (\[ \]).

I just copy/pasted from an old report, that's why it is in danish. To add more horizontal lines add "\midrule" between the lines in the table (if you complile the example i gave you, it should not be so difficult to see).

Page 42 in 'the not so short introduction' is what you need. It is not at all difficult to make simple tables, try some of the examples there. If you cannot do that, start at page one and read on to page 7 and try to compile the minimal examples. You might also want to try...

\binom{}{} requires the amsmath package.

What would it be called in your native language? In Danish it is readily called "Idiotformelen" -- the idiot formula...

I never used anything other than emacs with AucTeX. http://www.math.aau.dk/~dethlef/Tips/

\bibliographystyle{unsrt} and \usepackage{notoccite} should do the trick. Se the documentation in notoccite.sty for how it works, http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/notoccite.sty

If you know a little topology, consider the following: If f:X\to Y is continuous and X is a connected set, then f(X) is also connected. You have f:[0,1]\to\mathbb{Q}. What are the connected sets in \mathbb{Q}?

Latex should not have a problem with citation in a caption (footnotes is a whole other matter). Can you recreate the problem in a minimal example and post it? For eksample the following seems to work \documentclass[article]{memoir} \begin{document} \listoffigures*\newpage...
