Math/Science symbols, program for writing them

Click For Summary
A user inquires about software that can plot data points, graph functions, and display mathematical symbols accurately for a lab writeup, with a preference for compatibility with MS Word. Gnuplot is recommended for plotting data points and graphing functions, while LaTeX is suggested for displaying mathematical symbols correctly. Additionally, Microsoft Word's equation editor and Excel's graphing capabilities are mentioned as alternatives for users looking to stay within Microsoft programs.

Hi. I am wondering if there is a program that can do a few things:

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 export them into MS. Word or something similar.

Thanks

gnuplot wil do 1 & 2, LateX will do 3. Now if you want to do this in some Microsoft program, try it, Word has an equation editor and Excel will plot both data points and functions.
 
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
