Question

Does anyone know of a reference list of math formulas in LaTeX format?

NOT symbols. NOT syntax. NOT manual.

A library or a collection of frequently used mathematical formulas, functions, identities, properties, etc. Things like "tanx=sinx/cosx", "a*0=0", "De^x=e^x".

Answer 2

No, not a manual.

A list of math formulas in LaTeX format. Things like \tan {x} = \frac {\sin {x}} {\cos {x}} without having to type this out myself.

Answer 3

Dude! Equation editor xP

Answer 4

That you have to type it yourself,
but some of it is here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula

Answer 5

\[\curvearrowleft \circlearrowleft \Lsh \upuparrows \rightrightarrows \rightleftarrows \rightarrowtail \looparrowright\]Really works

Answer 6

\[\bigstar \cup, \Cup, \sqcup, \bigcup, \bigsqcup, \uplus, \biguplus \bigoplus, \bigotimes, \bigodot\]

Answer 7

There gotta be a pre-existing library of frequent functions somewhere.

@ParthKohli Do you know any good ones?

Answer 8

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula#Functions.2C_symbols.2C_special_characters

We have all possible symbols here in \( L^{A}T_{E}X \)

Answer 9

What symbol do you want to display?

Answer 10

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow \alpha \beta \gamma }\)

Answer 11

Also remember, that there is a Latex practicing group

Answer 12

I am not after symbols or syntax. I am after frequently used formulas.

If I want to enter def for tan \[\tan {x} = \frac {\sin {x}} {\cos {x}} \] I don't want to type if out by hand, I want to copy-paste or macro it in.

Answer 13

\# \$ \% \textasciicircum{} \& \_ \{ \} \~{} \textbackslash{}

Answer 14

lazy :P @sakh

Answer 15

\textstyle \int\limits_{-N}^{N} e^x\, dx

Answer 16

\[\bigcup_{i=_1}^n E_i \]

Answer 17

\[\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right ) \]

Answer 18

\[\left / \frac{a}{b} \right \backslash \]

Answer 19

\[\big( \Big( \bigg( \Bigg( \dots \Bigg] \bigg] \Big] \big]/ \]

Answer 20

\[\boldsymbol{\alpha}\]

Answer 21

@Rohangrr please don't post inappropriate answers.

Answer 22

\[\mathcal{A} \mathcal{B} \mathcal{C} \mathcal{D} \mathcal{E} \mathcal{F} \mathcal{G}\]
is given when you thpe:
\mathcal{A} \mathcal{B} \mathcal{C} \mathcal{D} \mathcal{E} \mathcal{F} \mathcal{G}

Answer 23

\mathfrak{A} \mathfrak{B} \mathfrak{C} \mathfrak{D} \mathfrak{E} \mathfrak{F} \mathfrak{G}

Answer 24

\[\mathfrak{A} \mathfrak{B} \mathfrak{C} \mathfrak{D} \mathfrak{E} \mathfrak{F} \mathfrak{G}\]

Answer 25

pretty much just google what you want and it will show up. there are tons of lists of symbols

Answer 26

here's a very simple list that used when I first started learning latex:

http://omega.albany.edu:8008/Symbols.html

it's certainly not a complete list though, so if you want to know how something is done,

right-click it-->show as-->tex commands

and you will see the formula in latex

Answer 27

Thanks all, but I am not after symbols. I am after a library of functions.

Answer 28

i think it is not clear what you are after.
a list of functions?

Answer 29

what do you mean by a library of functions?
like the quadratic formula, and Maxwell's eqns all ready to go in latex?

Answer 30

...cuz if you know latex you can type pretty much any formula...

Answer 31

@TuringTest yeah its like the quadratic formula and Maxwell's eqns,

Answer 32

it's much easier to just learn a little latex than to find the formulas pre-typed for you

but you're not the asker anyway @.Sam. :P

Answer 33

I can literally read his mind :P , lol

Answer 34

I see...

Answer 35

He said already

Answer 36

@ParthKohli There's a Latex practicing group?

Answer 37

Yep @kymber

Answer 38

On OpenStudy? I don't see it

Answer 39

Answer 40

Oh :D Thanks!

Answer 41

It's created by a user, not an official group/subject

Answer 42

well I stand by suggestion that it is much easier to learn the basic latex and type it by hand; it's not that hard

Answer 43

@TuringTest that's what I'm thinking too, typing the equations out its not that hard :)

Answer 44

once you learn latex, write the formulas you want out yourself, then copy paste the syntax on a word document or something for future copy-paste availability.

Answer 45

...then you have our own custom list of formulas

Answer 46

I should probably do that lol
so tired of typing the quadratic formula

Answer 47

I just copy the basic latex footprint and paste it whenever I want.

Answer 48

I always have a notepad file opened up

Answer 49

if you need a text editor there are plenty

Answer 50

i use something called texmaker, works great in linux but i hear it is good in windoze too

Answer 51

No thanks satellite, notepad is my personal preference. It's for geeks :D

Answer 52

yeah right.

i used to roll my own cigarettes too, but i didn't cure the tobacco and mill my own paper

Answer 53

Sam's right, its exactly what I want. It's not hard, just redundant.

Answer 54

This is a nice reference that I refer to quite often.

Answer 55

Another place that has some excellent examples.
