I have seen some posts here where people write equations similar to how they would be written in a text-editor (subscripts, superscripts, etc.) rather than in LaTeX. It seems a little "cleaner" and easier to incorporate into a sentence. Is there a certain type of code for this on these forums...

This could include changes to the alphabet, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. - any rule for writing. But only writing; Everything would still be spoken the same way. So for instance, if you wanted to spell 'told' as 'telled', it would still be pronounced as 'told'. What would you...

After much much reading, I have come to the conclusion that the Bourbakist approach to writing textbooks is only useful for Algebra and Analysis, not for things like Dynamical Systems and Differential Geometry/Topology. Does anybody want to agree or disagree?

I have to write net ionic equations for reactions. I have a big question to ask about polyprotic strong acids. Do we assume that the acid completely dissociates in a net ionic equation, such as H3PO4 and H2SO4? aluminum chloride + sulfuric acid -> aluminum sulfate + hydrogen chloride I...

What software would be good for writing a book?

Hi all, I have 2 tensors of rank 2. I want to write their product in a way else than a matrix. Or let's say, for example: how can I write the electic field in a form of matrix (tensor)? Thanks

can anyone write the balanced net ionic equations for the following reactions in acid solution?? thanks.. i can't figure it out 1. solid phosphorus (P4) reacts with hypochlorous acid (HClO) to form phosphoric acid H3PO4, and chloride ion 2. Tellurium, Te, is oxidized by nitrate ion to form...

can some tell me how to write net ionic equations of acid base recations in the cases of a weak base reacts with a strong acid, a strong base reacting with a weak acid, and weak base reacting with weak acid? How do you cancel things out? Also, does NH3+HCl--->NH4Cl or NH3+HCl--->NH4+Cl-?

Hey I'm writing a CV for the very first time for a job abroad (work placement) basically I've read that you should try and adopt your own style when writing it I've attached a sort of design for mine and I was wondering if this would be too much? I want it to stand out :( Thanks

I am writing a physicsreport about hydrochloricacid, but I have a quick question, and I don't have time to ask my teacher so I hope you can help me. I am making hydrochloricacid from NaCl and NaHSO_4 , then I get HCl and Na_2 SO_4 , and when let the HCl get in contact with water it becomes...

Pen is a common tool for writing, but it is difficult to erase them if errors occur. There's some ways to erase the pen writing, such as liquid paper and sand rubber. However, using liquid paper is not really tidy, while sand rubber might make a hole in your paper! :smile: I heard that blue...

I'm planning to write a book on Physics and electronics. Anybody who wish to share his experience/knowledge e.g. which software to use for writing etc. Also some tips to make it bestseller and profitable... :wink:

In Figure 13-34, a square of edge length 21.0 cm is formed by four spheres of masses m1 = 6.00 g, m2 = 3.00 g, m3 = 1.00 g, and m4 = 6.00 g. In unit-vector notation, what is the net gravitational force from them on a central sphere with mass m5 = 2.40 g? Well by using Newton's Law of...

We've discussed this before and I remain convinced that this was a serious effort to meddle in US politics. Whether it was or not, it may have done precisely the opposite of what was intended: it may have been the deciding factor in the election - giving the win to Bush. Link: Brits'...

Hi. I am wondering if there is a program that can do a few things: 1. Plot data points 2. Graph functions 3. Show math symbols (integral, etc) with correct placement of characters I am attempting to do these things in a lab writeup, so if separate programs are needed I would need to...

Simple question about writing a log--how does the root go turn to divison? I understand the product, quotient and power laws of logarithms. But this piece in the book has me stumped. It says how they used logarithms to rewrite calculations and make them easier to figure out. Fair enough...

I'm curious about writing a graphical plotting program to suplement an existing program. I've been working on a Zeta function root finder for a few months now, and I'd like to be able to graph some aspects of the Zeta function as well as many more functions. I'm contemplating what language to...

I started a science club at my public library and I also made a "journal" for it. The problem is the members know very little and don't care to write articles ( they will read it though) so I am asking if people here can write articles for it. It can be on anything, Physics, Chemistry...
