If we are unsure of the meaning or usage of a mathematical word, a quick internet search is invaluable. Mathematics is a language with a unique vocabulary, written with a dizzying array of often incomprehesnible symbols. We also show how to produce the symbols in LaTeX and give guidance on their mathematical usage.. We make no attempt to teach the mathematics behind these symbols. Rather, our goal is to give reminders of what these symbols mean; from there, we can consult textbooks or resources on the web. But what are we to do when confronted with some strange mathematical hieroglyph? What does one type into the search bar? This book is the answer! Our goal is to cover mathematical notation commonly used by engineers and scientists---notation a university student is likely to encounter. The book is organized by mathematical topic, but multiple indices steer the reader to each symbol's explanation
This book is a great help to write math with LaTeX Amazon Customer This book is a great help to write math with LaTeX. After I bought this book searches on the web about many math tricks is no longer more necessary.. RoR said All is good. At first blush, I think this will work. Very accessible.. Saving Hamsters Rudy Toody When I look at the patterns, I can hear the wheels turning. When I look at the math, I find out the hamsters have died.Since I got this book, the hamsters have been healthy.
