Presentation Transcript

  1. Word Processing Mathematics

  2. Word Processing • More professional • Don’t use handwritten symbols • Don’t use poorly word processed symbols

  3. Word Processing • Ex: Which looks better to you? x^2 = 9 \/x^2 = +-\/9 x = +-3

  4. Word Processing • Formatting rules • Use italics for: • Function names • Variables • Greek letters • Use standard text for all other symbols

  5. Word Processing • Microsoft Equation Editor Click on “Insert” Click on “Object”

  6. Word Processing • Microsoft Equation Editor Scroll to Microsoft Equation 3.0 Click “OK”

  7. Operator Symbols: Multiplication, etc. Word Processing Greek letters (lower & uppercase) • Microsoft Equation Editor Set theory Misc. Relational Symbols Spacing Summation Notation Type your math text here Grouping Symbols Fractions & Radicals Exponents & subscripts

  8. Word Processing • Microsoft Equation Editor The “Style” menu will control how your text appears. If you want to text mathematics in italics, use the “Math” option. Anything you type will automatically be italized. Note: you won’t be able to put blank spaces in this mode with the spacebar button. If you only want plain text, then you click on “Text”, and you can type like you would in a word document

  9. Word Processing • Microsoft Equation Editor The Format menu will be used to control the alignment of your text. Clicking on this will align the equations along the equal sign.

  10. Word Processing • Good vs Bad Word Processing f(x) f(x) or f(x) log x = 3 log x = 3sin θsin θ A = πr2 A = πr^2 R(q) = q · D(q) R(q) = q * D(q)
