Posting Complex Equations: Tips & Tricks

[PhysicsMark]

Hello. I have a very large, very complex equation to post here at the forums. I just finished writing it in Latex but I am having problems posting it. In the past I have always used the short cut keys, but this time a wrote out the whole thing.

Here is one part in Latex:
$$A= (cos(2ka)-(i\epsilon/2)sin(2ka))e^{2ia\lambda}F+(i\eta/2)sin(2ka)G$$

Does anyone know how to make that look like I want it to?

Like that...

 

[Rajini]

use \sin for sin ?

 

[Redbelly98]

Yes.

$$\sin \theta$$​

Also, you can click on any Latex equation to view the code used to make it.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out about posting complex equations. I understand the importance of accurately representing equations in a clear and precise manner.

One tip for posting equations is to use a mathematical typesetting software, such as LaTeX, which you have already mentioned using. This will ensure that the equation is properly formatted and easy to read for others.

In regards to your specific equation, it is important to check for any errors in the syntax or formatting of the equation in LaTeX. Additionally, you can use parentheses or brackets to group certain parts of the equation together and make it easier to read.

If you continue to have trouble, I suggest reaching out to forums or communities specifically dedicated to LaTeX or mathematical equations. They may have more specific tips and tricks for formatting and posting complex equations.

I hope this information helps and good luck with posting your equation!
