This might be a stupid question, but how do you guys post up your functions using mathematical jargon? Do you have to download a program or get a certain type of keyboard for all the different symbols? I would like to be able to do it for school purposes especially.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It is done using mathematical LaTeX packages on the server side, and this implementation is covered here.
You can produce LaTeX documents on your personal computer by installing a TeX typesetting system. MiKTeX is recommended for beginners. Read the manual.
 
Sweet. Thanks alot
 
This is for Windows:

This is the FAQ to Miktex: http://www.miktex.org/faq/
read especially: http://www.miktex.org/faq/basics.html
In addition, you will need an editor, like this one:
http://www.winedt.com/
Create a textfile, write a latex code into the textfile (for example formulas) and save it as "document.tex".
The ending ".tex" tells the text editor (for example WinEdt) that it is a Latex file.
Nice introduction to Latex codes:
