| Seriously, could we get LaTeX support up in here? It looks like mimeTeX should be real easy to set up. |

That would be awesome if I didn't have to type out a million parentheses and hope that what I wrote is readable, and make integrals that look like this:
51/2∫sqrt (2x-5)sqrt (9x+100) x5 dx
Although I havn't done that type of thing yet.

I was just thinking about this the other day and that I needed to get it done. Keep hounding me (without being excessive) and I'll make it so.

I'm going to do personal maths learning so if you guys would help me too, along with LaTeX that would be great!
Currently my square roots here are this: /---------

If you've got math questions, we're happy to help in the math forum.
Here's your first lesson. You can use the character √ to represent a radical. If you don't want to look it up, you can use exponents. If you don't want to use exponents, use sqrt. Never use /-----.
√2 = 2^.5 = 2^(1/2) = 2.5 = 21/2 = sqrt(2)
/-----2 = nonsense
The √ is a good character, as you can make it represent arbitrary roots with a little work:
3√8 = 2
Exponents are even better, because you can represent any power:
eiπ = -1 |

| Be careful! There's a really stupid discussion about dividing by 0 going on right now! |

I had latex support once but after a few hours it just got too hot and sweaty and i had to take it off.
Don't know what all the fuss is about. PVC is SO much better

Thanks (In)Sanity!
Selene, we mathematicians love latex because it keeps all our dirty little thoughts where they belong. |

Oooh, and where precisely is that?
Will latex save me from a life of dirtiness and sin?
Last time i slipped into some latex i had a revelation and this happened:
Let $D$ be a subset of $\bf R$ and let
$f \colon D \to \mathbf{R}$ be a real-valued function on
$D$. The function $f$ is said to be \emph{continuous} on
$D$ if, for all $\epsilon > 0$ and for all $x \in D$,
there exists some $\delta > 0$ (which may depend on $x$)
such that if $y \in D$ satisfies
\[ |y - x| < \delta \]
then
\[ |f(y) - f(x)| < \epsilon. \]
And it just made me want to get dirtier!
What am i doing wrong?

Your doing nothing wrong. You might need a new fetish  .
