Program for writing equations / expressions

AI Thread Summary
Several options for writing equations in Word documents are discussed, including Word's built-in Equation Editor 3.0, which may require installation from the Microsoft Office CD. MathType is another recommended program, priced at $49, offering similar functionality. For more advanced users, MiKTeX provides LaTeX support for creating high-quality documents and images. Additionally, MathML Central allows users to convert equations into GIFs. The conversation highlights the importance of using these tools for a more professional presentation of mathematical expressions.

just like there is a coding to write proper equations in this forum does anyone know a computer program that can do the same so that i can implement it into word documents?

Word has equation editor 3.0. You might have to put your M$ office cd in and install eq rditor as a plugin. You can get mathtype for windows also (very similar to eq editor 3.0) for $49. Also, if you are really rambunctuous you can download miketex (LaTex for windows) and make gif images (or PDF's of an entire document). Then again, you can go to http://www.mathmlcentral.com/ and type your equation in as mathml and convert said expression to a gif.
 
You could just switch to Tex or Latex. Miketex (google for the URL) might be a good place to start.
 
thanx very much guys. i will use the one that is in word. i have been using word for about 6 years now and i didn't know that there was such a thing for it. before i just typed and used underline and tabs. But this time my work will look professional.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
