LaTeX Coding Test

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:

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:

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:

\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: \mu
nu: \nu
upsilon: \upsilon
phi: \phi
omega: \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:
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.

\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.
