King is sailing, they say

LaTeX is a typesetting system particularly well suited for documents of a mathematical persuasion. It’s used almost exclusively by many technical, scientific and mathematical disciplines both in academia and industry. Let us see if i can implement it here onto this poor neglected blogsite.

Nothing like a Schrodinger wave equation to breathe new life into a suffering blogsite:

$latex i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\left|\Psi(t)\right>=H\left|\Psi(t)\right>$

WoW!! Not bad!!

Let’s try a simple Gaussian function:

$latex G_{X,\sigma}(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{(x-X)^{2}}{2\sigma^2}}$

how about a string of Greek letters:

$latex \alpha \beta \gamma \delta \epsilon \zeta \eta \theta \iota \kappa\lambda \mu \nu \xi \pi \rho \sigma \tau \upsilon \phi \chi \psi \omega $

I am not sure what it is questioning here.
Test Greek mu: $latex \mu$
nu: $latex \nu$
upsilon: $latex \upsilon$
phi: $latex \phi$
omega: $latex \omega$

hmmm.. I’m not sure why it is giving me question marks. All the Greek letters are in place, so I am a little confused by that.

Now capital letters:
$latex A B \Gamma \Delta E Z H \Theta I K \Lambda M N \Xi \Pi R \Sigma T \Upsilon \Phi X \Psi \Omega $

Very cool. So it looks like general equation writing with LaTeX is ok, but document writing is out. And I am not sure why it is not printing this last sentence out.

$latex \alpha \beta \gamma \delta \epsilon \zeta \eta \theta \iota \kappa\lambda \mu \nu \xi \pi \rho \sigma \tau \upsilon \phi \chi \psi \omega $

Cool, I think I have the Greek figured out. I am ready to start putting some of my favorite math puzzlers here.

Next week, a review of Inverse Fourier Transform Spectroscopy.  Stay toooned.
