Does anyone know how I can make a simple formula sheet using latex?

So what I would like to have is a landscape page, with a few sections, and then a lot of formulas in each section. I have been googling for over an hour and have not found something that works.

Ideally I would like to be able to label some equations as well, but I could always just do that by hand on my final draft.

I have tried formulasheet.com and it just seems like a huge waste of time. Basically what I want is a template that someone else has made than I can just fire off the formulas and be done!

PS I am a total rookie with latex. I can type formulas and other basic stuff like adding pictures and tables and whatnot. That's about it.

Perhaps something like this? The key thing is that I use the geometry package to make a landscape page, and I also used two columns (see \documentclass). \amssymb is not needed for this document but might be depending on what kind of symbols you want to write.

Let me know if there is something you don't understand. The \eq{} environment is for example something I defined in this document and not a standard environment for math. If you want unnumbered equations, just change from \begin{align} to \begin{align*} in the definition of \eq{}.

\documentclass[11pt, twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[landscape]{geometry}   
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
%\usepackage{amssymb}

%%%%% DEFINITION OF NEW COMMANDS %%%%%
\newcommand{\eq}[1]{\begin{align}#1\end{align}}

\title{Sheet of formulae}
\author{The Author}
%\date{}	% Activate to display a given date or no date

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Formulas for section 1}
\eq{E=mc^2}
\eq{(\partial^2+m^2)\phi(x)=0}
\eq{\vdots}

\section{Formulas for section 2}

\eq{E=mc^2}
\eq{(\partial^2+m^2)\phi(x)=0}
\eq{\vdots}

\section{Formulas for section 3}

\eq{E=mc^2}
\eq{(\partial^2+m^2)\phi(x)=0}
\eq{\vdots}

\end{document}

If I were you, I would try formulasheet.com.

I understand the importance of having a well-organized and efficient formula sheet for your work. LaTeX is a popular typesetting language that is commonly used in scientific and mathematical documents, and it is a great tool for creating formula sheets.

To create a simple formula sheet using LaTeX, you can start by creating a new document in your LaTeX editor. You can then use the landscape option to change the orientation of the page and create a larger space for your formulas.

Next, you can use the \section command to create different sections for your formulas. Within each section, you can use the \equation command to display your formulas. You can also use the \label command to label your equations and reference them later in your document.

If you are having trouble finding a pre-made template, you can also create your own template by defining the layout and formatting options that you prefer. This can be done by using the \usepackage command and specifying the desired packages and settings.

In summary, creating a simple formula sheet using LaTeX can be achieved by using the landscape option, creating sections, and using the \equation and \label commands. With some practice and experimentation, you can create a personalized and efficient formula sheet for your needs.
