AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the lack of a formula computation feature in the physics forum. Users clarify that the forum is not designed for mathematical software, but it does support LaTeX for elegant formula presentation. One user expresses confusion about the absence of LaTeX usage in discussions. Another confirms they will use LaTeX moving forward for better clarity in their posts. The conversation highlights the importance of using LaTeX for formatting mathematical expressions effectively.

Hi.

I'm not so good with english so I just question it: why there is not a way to compute formulae in this physics forum? :)

What do you mean "compute formulae"? As in finding solutions to an equation?

This is a FORUM, not a mathematical software.

such capabilities are beyond us at this point
 
Here’s a way to compute formulae for free (outside PF); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_(software)" .

Sorry for the misleading.
For "compute formulas" i mean an editor that allows to write formulas in a more elegant way, i.e. x² instead of x^2, and so on...

There is! It's called LaTEX!

PF supports LATEX typesetting. If you carefully look around you will find physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=386951[/URL] sticky thread in this subforum itself.

oh good! My question rises because every topic i have seen is written without latex.
I know latex, so i will use that from now on
