More About LaTeX

\LaTeX
is an interesting markup language, that comes in quite handy for displaying equations and other mathematical things. LaTeX is a great language to know if you are focusing in the math and science field, especially since LaTeX can improve your professionalism. A pretty good, but basic, tutorial focusing on LaTeX can be found at LaTeX Basics. Enjoy!

Testing LaTeX


Hello, all, we are testing LaTeX on this forum. Look at it below:

\int_{0}^{1}\frac{x^{4}\left(1-x\right)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}dx
=\frac{22}{7}-\pi

Pi

Hey, we made a Pi program with Python. Syntax is as follows:


x=1
y=3
a=-1
z=int(input("How many calculations? "))
while z>0:
x=x+(a/y)
a=-a
y=y+2
z=z-1
print(4*x)


This uses the following pi formula:


\pi=4(1-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{9}-\dots)

Welcome!
