What Software? (Math Graph, Math Equation, and Text Editor)

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the software used to create integrated text editors, math graphs, and equations, particularly in the context of professional publishing. It highlights that many publishers utilize professional typesetting software, with LaTeX being a common choice, especially for academic books. However, it notes that LaTeX does not always indicate the use of the Computer Modern font, making it difficult to identify. For creating figures, various options are available, including plotting programs like gnuplot and Origin, as well as general math software like Mathematica and Matlab, and drawing tools such as Illustrator and Inkscape. The consensus suggests that using LaTeX, along with its numerous packages, is advisable for producing high-quality documents. There is also a request for recommendations on software that can create geometric shapes and diagrams, along with a good LaTeX editor.

What software is used to create a text editor, math graph, and math equation such as below image?

It seems the math graph is a vector illustration (not pixel), the math equation is not Latex, and they are integrated with the text editor.

What software to create such as book?

Some publishers use professional typesetting software, while others make of of LaTeX (I have books on my shelf from Springer, OUP, and World Scientific, to name a few, that were obviously typeset in LaTeX). Note that LaTeX does not necessarily imply that the font is Computer Modern, so it can be hard to tell.

To make figures, there are also lots of possibilities. There are plotting programs (gnuplot, Origin, Igor Pro), more general math programs (Mathematica, Matlab), and drawing software (Illustrator, Inkscape). The choice is endless.

If you want to produce something similar, my advice would be to use LaTeX. There are many packages that will help in producing something looking very nice.
 
I think it's not a Latex, Do you know what software (math equation, math graph, and text editor) is exactly similar as this book?
 
I am also looking for help on this.

I need to find something to create geometric shapes and diagrams. Graphs as well.

Also a good LaTeX editor would be lovely.

Any opinions would be appreciated.
