Hi guys, I have to do a lot of equations in a report, and I was wondering if there is a package for Latex so that I can just cut and paste matlab/excel coding straight into Latex and it will set it out properly. i.e. so that instead of typing \frac{5+x}{4} I can just write (5+x)/4?

I was taking a lecture series this summer at my school where a professor was introducing us to introductory Galois theory. It was a very 'slack' introduction, without too much rigour. However, about a month in (only 3-4, 3 hr lectures) they stopped due to outstanding circumstances. I was a...

Why do we need to normalize vectors for? Is it just to cut down on the arithmetic when finding other quantities of the vector? Does it make life simpler to normalize vectors?

I need help with the last part of Problem 20, Chapter 1 of Rudin. Here's the problem: "With reference to the Appendix, suppose that property (III) were omitted from the definition of a cut. Keep the same definitions of order and addition. Show that the resulting ordered set has the...

What's with this guy? He seems to begin everything by saying (basically) "I'm a doctor, so therefore, in conclusion <blank>" He did it when he wanted to cut Planned Parenthood, & I bet he tried it during the healthcare reform debate a year or two ago also. I wonder if this doctor understands...

IMO, the only way to effectively cut our deficit is to cut spending ASAP and to keep all future spending on-budget and transparent. We can get rid of a lot of spending with a few moves. First, close at least 600 foreign military bases. They are not necessary to the security of our country...

Hi there Just a quick question; when I'm calculating moments in a cantilever beam (in my case a quarter circular one), is there any reason (apart from my own ineptitude) why I shouldn't be able to make the cut and FBD starting from the fixed end? I get different answers when I make the cut...
