Math Markup

Hi, Economist. I just wanted to further TK's comments about the math markup. For most simple things (e.g. numbers, subscripts, superscripts), you don't need math markup, just regular HTML (there are buttons for these in the edit bar). For more complicated things, or things like Greek letters, you need to enter math mode using <math> and exit it using </math>. Many LaTeX commands are straightforward to guess: Greek letters are \nameofletter, for example \kappa, \delta, or \Delta, which give $\kappa ,\delta ,or\Delta$. The commands are case sensitive as you can see. Other things you might want are:

• \frac{num}{denom} which yields ${\frac {num}{denom}}$.
• _ is subscript, ^ is superscript, and by default they only take one thing as argument, so if you want multiple numbers, use {} to denote the scope. Compare: \sigma_12 with \sigma_{12}: $\sigma _{1}2$ versus $\sigma _{12}$.
• \lim_{x\to \infty} f(x) yields $\lim _{x\to \infty }f(x)$

Curly braces {} are used to denote the argument of a command.

Any other LaTeX questions, feel free to ask me. Also, when editing articles, make sure there are enough links to other articles where important topics are talked about. L'Hopital's rule was a little barren with just one link. -Foxtrot 05:55, 16 February 2009 (EST)

Thanks for the compliment, but...

While it's appreciated, I'd prefer that your remove that userbox if you don't mind. I like to contribute here in a low-key manner, and my viewpoints draw enough criticism without people thinking it's about attention-seeking or ego on my part. As long as I get to make my points without reversion or being blocked, I'm content, but it's nice to know that they are appreciated. --DinsdaleP 18:18, 16 February 2009 (EST)

Undo?

May I kindly ask why you keep undoing my edits on the Talk page of the lecture. I have said nothing offensive I have simply pointed out some factual errors in line with the aim of this site's search for truth. Please clarify why you are trying to prevent this.

I have replied on your talk page. --Economist 17:43, 24 February 2009 (EST)

There is nothing which I have posted which contravenes any rules of the site. Even if it were opinion, I have not actual posted on the actual article, and so have not violated the commandments. The POV of the site being conservative, Christian or YEC does not in any way affect the truth of any of my corrections to the facts. RobertWDP 17:47, 24 February 2009 (EST)
