Due with Homework #5, Wednesday, April 2
For this assignment, you will submit a comment on this post.
Have you ever wondered how mathematicians type beautiful math like this?
What is
Throughout the semester, you’re sometimes asked to submit written solutions in your own posts on the OpenLab. One way to do this is to upload a photo of work you wrote on paper and upload it as a picture to include in your post. You could also just type the work directly into your post. The regular keyboard can do a lot, but it won’t look that great and you’ll be missing useful math characters like
Instead, you can use the most commonly used math typesetting language, called
Our OpenLab page has a
(For the first line, for example, I typed $u=\int\frac{3-6t}{e^{-t}}dt$.)
Instructions
For this assignment all you’re going to do is practice typing some
- Instructions for typing in
- The comprehensive
One thing to remember:
- Enclose your mathematical expression in dollar signs. (The instructions linked above use
\begin{math}and\end{math}instead of dollar signs, this doesn’t work anymore, so use dollar signs like in the example above.)

Hey Rachel, nice attempts!
I’ve just updated the instructions, which were indeed out of date. Now, we just need to enclose our LaTeX code in dollar signs; the \begin{math} (and corresponding \end command) doesn’t work anymore.
