Creating complex expressions

To apply an object to multiple objects, you will need to select the multiple objects and then click on the object to apply in the toolbar. Selection is performed as it is in any program, by using the mouse to highlight the desired area.

Operators and functions can be entered into text boxes using the keyboard with the following syntax:


Name Syntax
Addition +
Multiplication *
Division /
Greater than >
Less than <
Equal =
==
Less than or Equal <=
Greater than or Equal >=
Power ^
Sine sin(x)
Cosine cos(x)
Tangent tan(x)
Arc Sine asin(x)
Arc Cosine acos(x)
Arc Tangent atan(x)
Hyperbolic Sine sinh(x)
Hyperbolic Cosine cosh(x)
Hyperbolic Tangent tanh(x)
Inverse Hyperbolic Sine asinh(x)
Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine acosh(x)
Inverse Hyperbolic Tangent atanh(x)
Natural Logarithm ln(x)
Logarithm log(x)
Exponential exp(x)
Absolute Value abs(x)
Square Root sqrt(x)
Union union(a,b)
Intersection intersection(a,b)
Determinant det(a)
Trace trace(a)
Subset subset(a,b)
Integral integrate(f,x)
int(f,x)
Definite Integral integrate(f,x,a,b)
int(f,x,a,b)
Differential diff(f,x)
Sum sum(n^2,n,1,10)
Product product(n^2,n,1,10)

Once the box that you have been typing in has been left then the text is turned into templates automatically for you.


How to use layout templates

There are special templates called layout templates, beause they each take a unique layout. These are:
Fraction
Square Root
N-th Root
Subscript
Superscript
Matrix
Integral
Differential
Product
Sum
Limit
Evaluate at a point
Grouping (round brackets, curly brackets, square brackets, modulus)

These layout templates can be used in exactly the same way as the other math templates.


How to add symbols

Symbols such as greek letters are added by clicking in the box you wish to insert the symbol, and then clicking on the symbol in the toolbar.
