<\/a><\/p>\nLaTeX is a typesetting system which allows you to type complicated mathematical formulas into SLATE by hand. \u00a0Although it involves a bit of a learning curve to understand all of the commands, once mastered, using the LaTeX Equation editor is a quick, efficient, and powerful tool for users who plan on inserting many mathematical statements into their course.<\/p>\n
LaTeX Commands<\/h3>\n
All letters, numbers, and the following symbols can be entered using your keyboard as usual:<\/p>\n
+ \u00a0 – \u00a0 * \u00a0 \/ \u00a0 = \u00a0 < \u00a0 > \u00a0 ( \u00a0 ) \u00a0 [ \u00a0 ] \u00a0 | \u00a0 ! \u00a0 ? \u00a0 ” \u00a0 ‘ \u00a0 : \u00a0 ; \u00a0 , \u00a0 .<\/h3>\n
