Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Physics Forums has integrated LaTeX mathematical typesetting into its platform, allowing users to create professional-grade mathematical expressions. Users can include LaTeX graphics in posts using the [tex] and [itex] tags for display and inline formats, respectively. A PDF guide detailing essential LaTeX commands and symbols is available, along with additional resources for the amsmath package. This feature enhances the forum's capability for mathematical discussions and presentations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax and commands
  • Understanding of mathematical notation and typesetting
  • Basic knowledge of using forums and posting content online
  • Access to LaTeX resources and documentation
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the PDF guide on LaTeX commands provided by Physics Forums
  • Learn about the amsmath package and its functionalities
  • Practice creating LaTeX graphics using the [tex] and [itex] tags
  • Investigate additional LaTeX resources for advanced typesetting techniques
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, students, and anyone involved in scientific communication who seeks to enhance their ability to present mathematical content effectively on online platforms.

This page can be used for unlimited LaTeX previewing and testing. It's a little crude. Still working some details out.

I need to fool around. I'm getting different answers elsewhere besides here and : https://www.physicsforums.com/mathjax/test/preview.html

Pressing return makes a newline. It does not render it.

Hello. I apologize if this had been asked already in this thread, I just didn't find it feasible to go through it all. How would I go about changing the math font here? For example, I happen to find times math fonts to be perhaps one of the most beautiful ones out there, so I could I implement it into a post on this site?

Not sure what you mean by changing the math font, but if you want to learn how to use it, start here: Latex Primer

It's funny how the primer uses arrays to organize the LaTeX, but doen't show how to use arrays. I think this could be helpful?

Thanks for the reply! What I mean by changing the math font is that whenever I type an equation on here, it always shows up with the default font which I believe to be called computer modern (I could be totally wrong). I want to instead use a times math font, maybe like STIX or mathptmx, for the math symbols (presuming that this can be done to begin with). I checked out the thread you linked me to, and the only thing I could find on fonts is changing certain symbols to certain special fonts, like changing R into the double struck ##\mathbb{R}##, which isn't what I was looking for.

Are you using Latex to type your equations?

Uh, I believe so. I mean, I am inserting my equations in between the pound signs##
