In summary, LaTeX is a typesetting language used to format equations and mathematical expressions in physics forums. It allows for precise and professional-looking equations to be easily written and shared, with a wide range of symbols and formatting options available. To use LaTeX, one must first learn the syntax and commands, which can be done through online resources and tutorials. Once familiar with the basics, equations can be written and displayed within posts on physics forums, enhancing the clarity and effectiveness of communication among members.

Welcome to the PF.

It looks like you figured out how to make your first posts in the QM forum, but I'll give you a couple tips anyway. Under INFO at the top of the page, there is a link to the Help/How-To page. That page has lots of useful info on how to post here. Also, it helps to post as much information as possible when starting a new thread. Post links to the reading you have been doing so far, and give as much context to your question as you can. That makes it easier for us to try to answer your questions.

Also, when you have schoolwork-related questions, post them in the Homework Help section of the PF, and fill out the Template that you are provided there.

Enjoy! :smile:

Also, your equations will be easier for everybody else to read if you learn how to use LaTeX:

The symbols on the palette above the message-editing box are OK for simple equations, but people will appreciate it if you use LaTeX for complicated ones.
