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.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
