Im looking to compose my own notes for a university unit that I attended before, and Im not sure if you have heard of Kopy Stop but they seem to have their own version of notes that they sell. (Kopy Stop charges around $15 for notes for alot of the maths units )

I must admit , it does seem a very profitable business, provided the notes are of a good standard.

I'll also admit I sometimes buy notes off the StudentVIP website, from D or HD students.

Also find that pretty helpful. The only downside is sometimes your paying $29 for about 16 pages worth of course notes.

If your a keen student, you would use and buy set of notes which can give you any advantage over other students.

English was never my strong point but I will try to get better at it.

Want to try and get my English up to an Advanced level. I'll be honest I have tutored 3 English Advanced students in the past, 2 of them I tutored lasted 1 session and the other was from a Bangladesh family background who saw my ad listed online. I was asked to analyze and come up some comparison of texts in relation to Othello. I am shit at English.

actually speaking about it now, I tutored a Knox Grammar student , as well for 1 lesson. If you go to a selective or Grammar school in Sydney, your English is alot more coherent and posh.

That's not true, my school has a large Campbelltown sampling, so we have bogan streaks running everywhere.

Unless you use \begin{align*} \\ &= I don't know of any ways to do on actual LaTeX because I do not know of any page sizes larger than A4 to use in your preamble.

On the forum there's not much you can do. But by convention for a sequence nobody types out more than 3 terms before jumping straight to the final term. (P.S. you can use \dots to generate an ellipsis)

Is there an easy way to type a table in tex mode on BoS?

\begin{tabular}{ccc}11&12&13\\21&22&23\\31&32&33\end{tabular}

produces


The bracket after the \begin{tabular}, specifies columns: c for centre aligned, l for left aligned, r for right aligned

Unfortunately BOS latex, doesn't support the new line character so you have to type it all in one line.

Code:
\usepackage{graphicx} % Add images to your document
One thing I will point out is that graphicx isn't just for images. It can also be a more powerful resize tool for math.

So in standard LaTeX we see we can use these commands to resize math:

Code:
{\displaystyle \int x^2\ \!dx}\\
{\textstyle \int x^2\ \!dx}\\
{\scriptstyle \int x^2\ \!dx}\\
{\scriptscriptstyle \int x^2\ \!dx}
yielding this:



However if you load graphicx you can be somewhat more flexible with sizes using this

Code:
\scalebox{10}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{9}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{8}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{7}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{6}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{5}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{4}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{3}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{2}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.9}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.8}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.7}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.6}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.5}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.4}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.3}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.2}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.1}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.9}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.8}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.7}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.6}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.5}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.4}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.3}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.2}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.1}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
yielding this:
