LaTeXiT lets you simply type in the code for a forumla or series of formulas and then creates an image file or pdf for you to drop into whatever document you want. If you’re using a mac, LaTeXiT comes installed as part of the huge 1.8 GB install. The program I use for this is LaTeXiT, which is awesome.
I most often use LaTeX to typeset single formulas to use on another document (presentation or practice sheet). Here’s the documentation for the mandi package: Note that LyX does require you do a full install of a LaTeX processing engine, and for many machines, this can be a large download (~1.4 GB on a mac). LyX is so simple enough to use that I would not forsee many problems in having very young high school students use it to format lab reports. You can get started in a very WYSIWYG environment using LyX, which requires almost no coding, is as easy to use as Word, and produces output that looks 10 times better. K \approx \onehalf \quant^2īy the way, if you haven’t started playing with LaTeX yet, it’s much easier than you think. The package contains a number of commands for quickly typesetting equations, especially vector equations, constants, and even has a number of equations from Matter and Interactions built in. Physics professor Joe Heafner has created an incredible package of specialized commands for typesetting physics called mandi (link downloads package).
