Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting

In summary, Physicsforums.com has introduced the addition of LaTeX mathematical typesetting to their forum software. This professional-grade typesetting system allows for pleasing mathematical presentation and can be included in any post on the forum. Users can include LaTeX graphics by using the [ tex ]...[ /tex ] or [ itex ]...[ /itex ] tags, with the latter being used for inline graphics. The forum provides a pdf file and symbol reference for the most useful LaTeX commands, symbols, and constructs. The amsmath package is also available for more information. Examples of various techniques are provided, including subscripts, superscripts, and equations. Users can also use the [ tex usepackage= ] tag to include additional packages.

This page can be used for unlimited LaTeX previewing and testing. It's a little crude. Still working some details out.

{n^3,\color{red}{n^3},n^3}

[tex]{n^3,\color{red}{n^3},n^3}[/tex]

I need to fool around. I'm getting different answers elsewhere besides here and : https://www.physicsforums.com/mathjax/test/preview.html

Try this site for ##\LaTeX## practice:

(instant feedback and no [tex] tags required)

Pressing return makes a newline. It does not render it.

Hello. I apologize if this had been asked already in this thread, I just didn't find it feasible to go through it all. How would I go about changing the math font here? For example, I happen to find times math fonts to be perhaps one of the most beautiful ones out there, so I could I implement it into a post on this site?

Not sure what you mean by changing the math font, but if you want to learn how to use it, start here: Latex Primer

It's funny how the primer uses arrays to organize the LaTeX, but doen't show how to use arrays. I think this could be helpful?

Thanks for the reply! What I mean by changing the math font is that whenever I type an equation on here, it always shows up with the default font which I believe to be called computer modern (I could be totally wrong). I want to instead use a times math font, maybe like STIX or mathptmx, for the math symbols (presuming that this can be done to begin with). I checked out the thread you linked me to, and the only thing I could find on fonts is changing certain symbols to certain special fonts, like changing R into the double struck ##\mathbb{R}##, which isn't what I was looking for.

Are you using Latex to type your equations?

Uh, I believe so. I mean, I am inserting my equations in between the pound signs##
