this is wisky40 I'm not sure about this, but I'm going to try to write something using
Latex...[tex]E=K\lambda\int_{-a}^a \frac{dx_1}{x_1+x_2+b}[/tex]
 
How do I make this look better

[tex] a_0 (t)[/tex]

where a0 is supposed to be a function of t and not a0 times t.

[tex] a_0 (t) \partial a_0 = t^2 \partial t[/tex]
I don't know. I just think it could sometimes be difficult to read and understand if it is ment to be a multiplication or a function of this variable.

I wonder if it would be better to use these {}


such as
[tex] F_g \{s,t\} = ...[/tex]

Does that conflict with anything else? I don't think I have used any sets in this manner, then again there is much math I have still to see. But I think it would be a little more obvious that it isn't a set instead of it not being multiplication

[tex] F_g^{ \{s,t\} } = ...[/tex]

[tex] F_g^{ (s,t) } = ...[/tex]

[tex] F_g (s,t) = ...[/tex]

[tex] F_g \{s\} = ...[/tex]

[tex] F_g (s) = ...[/tex]

try a font size change


[tex] F_g \mbox{\Large (s,t)}[/tex]

[tex] F_g \mbox{\large (s,t)}[/tex]

[tex] F_g^{\mbox{\HUGE (s,t) }} = ...[/tex]

I suppose that is a good point. Now I am having trouble getting the font size to work though
 
All four of those a0t's are formatted to the same size on my screen.

EDIT: The sizes are fixed now.

If you overload your post with too much latex math writing? Will it come out as errors?

Since, I think I may be doing so. As I was trying to verify in my post how I implicitly differentiated this equation, I used a lot of Latex Math writing to show my work. Then I preview it and it comes out with unsuccessful results.

EDIT MESSAGE: Nevermind, I found a couple of errors in my latex math writing. I fixed them and it came out great.

Hello everybody!
Do you know how to write in Latex a big square cap with underlying text like formulas in display math style?

Just trying to figure out if there's anything in particular screwing things up:

Can you tell me how I can create a dvi file with images/pictures included ?
Thanks
