Mathematical Equations

<p>hey, I'm not really good at computers, so you any of you know how to type those equations on a forum, or on Microsoft Word? (equations with fractions, square roots, calculus, and other math symbols) Is the thing called Latex or something? Can someone educate me on this? Thanks!</p>

<p>Go here: About</a> LaTeX</p>

3

<p>Latex ftw! They have a great tutorial on AoPS</p>

4

<p>Age of Empires?</p>

<p>I play Age of Empires 3, anyone else play it? can you tell me your sn lol I'll play you.
Oh yeah, and thanks so much for the link, I'll be sure to check it out.</p>

<p>Age of Empires, lol. It's AoE (which does look similar to AoPS at first glance).
I thought not many CCers play video games (except for the "5 minutes for studying" vals and sals) but it seems that I'm wrong now.</p>

7

<p>so you play AOE? what's ur username</p>

8

<p><em>immature giggles</em> Latex... </p>

<p>(Yes, I know what the program is for.)</p>

<p>I don't really play AOE much anymore, lol, used to. </p>

Absolutely not. gaming's like 1/2 my life now (used to be more but meh now I'm slightly moving on), the other half is sleeping, hanging out, movies, friends, eating, music. (and a couple other stuff)</p>

<p>

OUCH! sounds bitter.... : o</p>

11

<p>I *****ing hate LaTex...</p>

12

<p>This thread is ironic because one of my former friends had his status update on facebook asking how to write mathematical equations for AP Bio. Just putting that out there..</p>

13

<p>if not Latex, then how could I write math stuff in good formatting? Any other possibilities?</p>

<p>Inside of MS Word go Insert -> Object -> Microsoft Equation Editor. You may have to pop in your MS Office CD in order to install it, but I've found that it fills most of my needs for doing equations and such in lab reports. If I ever need to do any sort of massive typesetting I'll learn how to use latex or something like that, but I don't feel any rush at the moment.</p>
