LaTeX Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting

Click For Summary
Physics Forums has integrated LaTeX mathematical typesetting into its platform, allowing users to create visually appealing mathematical expressions using markup similar to HTML. Users can include LaTeX graphics in posts by wrapping their code in [tex] or [itex] tags for display or inline formatting, respectively. A PDF guide with essential LaTeX commands and symbols is available, along with links to additional resources. The community is encouraged to experiment with the system and share examples, while also being mindful of server load when generating graphics. This addition aims to enhance the clarity and professionalism of mathematical discussions on the forum.

Hmmmmm. What browser are you using?

Opera 7.23

Sometimes they appear high like that, and sometimes they appear low.


Oh, and I get them in Netscape 7.0 too. (appearing low for the image I posted)

And this never used to happen in PF2? Does clicking on a latex image still bring up the little code dialog?

- Warren
 
  • #154
Never happened before the upgrade. And yes, I can still get the code popup.
 
  • #155
Test... \beta
 
  • #156
And there still be a dash. It's low.
 
  • #157
Test... \sqrt{x} \{sqrt}{x}
 
  • #158
Testing... E = -grad\Phi
 
  • #159
Testing... E = \grad\Phi
 
  • #160
Testing... E = mc^2<br /> E = -grad\Phi
 
  • #161
Testing.. \sqrt x
 
  • #162
still dashes. All low.
 
  • #163
Hurkyl,

I'm afraid it really may just be a bug in your browser.

- Warren
 
  • #164
The dash goes away if I take out the anchor tag.

Oddly, if I change "<a href..." to "<b href..." it shows up fine.
 
  • #165
Right, your browser is not obeying the border=0 attribute on the images for some reason -- likely because of a style sheet or other bug.

  • #166
Test... \infty
 
  • #167
I am just testing the new LateX engine.

x = \int_\infty^0 \sin(\cos(\theta)) \,dx \frac{e^x}{\log(x)}
 
  • #168
e=mc^2
f=ma

Blah, blah, blah

Hey, I don't see the dashes today. Woohoo! (I wonder how long it's been?)

latex display size

Is there a way to force this to be displayed bigger:

{ a^{log_cb} = b^{log_ca}

and is there a way to make it clearer that c is a base?
 
  • #171
Use an \mbox{} to step out of the default format, then use one of the font size commands to set the desired size.

\mbox{\large a^{\log_cb} = b^{\log_ca}}
\mbox{\Large a^{\log_cb} = b^{\log_ca}}
\mbox{\LARGE a^{\log_cb} = b^{\log_ca}}
\mbox{\huge a^{\log_cb} = b^{\log_ca}}
\mbox{\Huge a^{\log_cb} = b^{\log_ca}}

Whoops, I forgot to tell you I fixed that... :redface:

Wow, I'd like to be involved in this but all those formulas are greek to me, the symbols.
I can't handle stuff like that, throughout school I was always daydreaming. I did well on the tests because I understood not because I studied. Eventually that was way to much for me though. But I never gave up on physics. I stuck to the theoretical side, there are many things left to prove. My mind always focused on the vastness of space, it's intricisies(sp?) It's explained and it's not. Since I heard E=mc2 I never doubted it. I took it as fact and thought about what it could mean. Where it's explanation stopped, and it's implications began.

So, Sorry I can't give any cool input on your thread chroot :) :P

I really appreciate your thought into mine though. Because like I said my math isn't as advanced as yours. I would never be able to prove anything if I can't get someone to help me.

We're not discussing anything in this thread, PRyckman. It started as a tutorial of PF's LaTeX math typesetting, and turned into a test thread. People are just posting random equations to learn how the typesetting works.

yes i read the first 20 posts or so only and last 5 or 10

Why is this fraction not displaying correctly?

\mbox{\Huge B = \frac{1}{15} }
 
  • #177
<br /> \newcount\n<br /> \n=1<br /> \def\abc#1{<br /> \ifnum\n&lt;#1<br /> \the\n \par<br /> \advance\n by 1<br /> \abc{#1}<br /> \fi<br /> }<br /> \abc{10}<br />

Ehehehe.

\mbox{\Huge \frac{U_4^{T_1}}{\frac {M_0}{P_v(M_4)}}}
