writing maths equations (1 Viewer)

[jm1234567890]

there needs to be a better way to write maths equations
on the board in stead of a jumble of "^" "*" and "( )/( )" thingys

You can send pictures ....

Look, just deal with it (unless you want to specify symbols)

People have coped with that restriction on usenet for years, and there are many flourishing mathematical groups there. I know it's not easy to get used to, but it's hardly an insuperable difficulty.

u can always write whatever is written up on paper and read it that way. probably will help by making it easier. time consuming but i would say the best way......now writting it up can sumtyms take a while

write and scanner for those with scanners ...
or use word and convert it to pdf ...

try using alt+0178 for and alt+0179 for

I find that it makes things easier to read.

You can just use the HTML <sup> (and the corresponding </sup&gt tag for superscripts e.g. x<sup>n + 1</sup> becomes x^{n + 1}, etc.

EDIT But forgetting to close the tag can cause things to get messy...

Does anyone have any idea of how to "capture" a problem from a pdf acrobat file and paste it on a word file, or an email?

 

[Amish]

Well

There are two ways... You can either select the text selection tool up the top there ^ or if it is not comming out how you want you can use the picture select tool, which would copy it as if it was like a screen shot of the part your want. Either way you can then go into word or whatever and just paste it in.

Simple. Hope it helps

 

[ezzy85]

the selecting tool only works if you have adobe acrobat, not just acrobat reader.

Interesting

Well mine works, and I don't have adobe acrobat, just the latest version of Acrobat Reader but hmmm wonder what the deal is with that....
