Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the challenge of copying large equations from Mathematica into MathType for use in Word documents, particularly for supplementary information in publications. Participants explore potential workarounds and methods to address the limitations encountered with large equations.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses difficulty in copying a large equation from Mathematica into MathType, indicating that MathType reports the equation as too large.
- Another participant provides a link to detailed instructions for copying Mathematica equations into MathType, suggesting that the original poster may be following these instructions.
- A participant suggests breaking down the equation in Mathematica into smaller parts, specifically separating it by the "left of =" and "right of =" to facilitate copying.
- There is a suggestion to copy the equation as MathML, paste it into Notepad, save it, and then share it as an attachment for further assistance.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on a definitive solution to the problem, and multiple approaches are proposed without agreement on their effectiveness.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include the potential need for specific Mathematica functionalities that some participants may not have access to, as well as the dependence on the capabilities of MathType to handle large equations.
