formula drawer?

[EvilMonkeh]

well, my maths coursework has to be in tomorrow, and i have a rather long formula that looks like shite atm. are there any programs that i can use to draw an image of the formula?
my formula is this:
SQRT( (plane^2+wind^2)- (2*plane*wind*( COS( 180-(arccos(COS( ABS(90-B)))+(ABS(arcsin((SIN(90-B)*wind)/plane)))) ) ) ) )

cheers

gahdammit there are a couple iirc. in fact I was reading a html document just this afternoon with formulae inserted as pics. shitty thing is for the life of me I can't remember what it was called :/ have you googled? you may be able to turn something up on freshmeat.net too. good luck!

 

[EvilMonkeh]

yes but im not entirely sure what to search for :/
i would use paint but for the large number of brackets...

 

[TdC]

hmm I found a free one on sourceforge. can you work with it? http://mainline.essi.fr/wiki/bin/view/Jome/FormulaeManips


I searched freshmeat.net and sourceforge for "formulae" btw.

 

[TdC]

there is even a jome openmath editor you can download here: http://mainline.essi.fr/wiki/bin/view/Jome/OmEditor

Well, the most accessible option is Microsoft's Equation Editor. You can get to it through Word by telling it to Insert -> Object.

Considering it's due in tomorrow, I may have to refrain from suggesting rewriting it in LaTeX...

 

[TdC]

*shudders* that is for those of extreme beardyness. fear it

 

[fatbusinessman]

It is, however, very well suited to scientific/mathematical reports

 

[TdC]

begone beardy one!!1 back!! back to the shadows

 

[EvilMonkeh]

thanks for that tdc! that would be fine, but my formula is just too long to fit in

when i do insert -> object i cant find microsoft equation editor i have office xp

thanks for help so far!

That may be because it wasn't installed as default. You can use the install CDs to and do an Add/Remove components and install the equation editor

Gonna have to agree with FBM, latex is the way forward, I had to write my final year project in it and they give you extra marks for presentation for using it! and no I dont have a beard, except an ass beard....

 

[TdC]

it's quite true though, you're both correct. latex is supreme. yet I abide by my beardy remark

 

[fatbusinessman]

I'm not beardy!

I just haven't bothered to shave for the past few days...

 

[Cyradix]

Why is there so much beard-hate on this forum??

 

[granny]

Equation editor works fine in Office, just have to install it from the cd.

And beard-hate is justified tbh, horrid things

 

[Cyradix]

What about goatee-hate?

 

[TdC]

I hate my goatee. It's never just 'right' for some odd reason :/

 

[sibanac]

What about goatee-hate?

There used to be a time when a goatee had a profound evil image with it.
Now you just look like a disloged member of generation X/90's trowback

 

[Cyradix]

I had the same problem. Now I wait half an hour after waking up before shaving....

I like mine, unfortunately the woman in my life is less keen. Although I sometimes grow it really long just to annoy her and test her love for me!

 

[Doh_boy]

The problem with mine is it's ginger. A mate actually asked if I'd dyed it.

mine loves my beardyness for some odd reason (first one that ever said she liked it) but she wants it only on the point of my chin and/or a triangle under my bottom lip. any other places, and I mean this in the loosest sense, and all fraternising grinds to an instant halt oO

Tell her you expect her pubes to be limited to 1 cm sqaure too

 

[TdC]

pubes? what are these pubes you speak of?

Calm down.. maybe he's never seen his missus nekked









hmmph

 

[TdC]

I could gloat

 

[TdC]

in fact....I'm gloating now



*gloat*

 

[Jonaldo]

I could gloat

Are gloats similar to shleep? but with horns and less wool?

I'm sure it's illegal here..

*points TdC in the general direction of Wales*
