1. Common Hotkeys
Code:
Alt+"=" open/close equation editor
ctrl+l left align
ctrl+e center align
ctrl+r Right align
ctrl+j justify
ctrl+b bold
ctrl+u underline
ctrl+i italic
ctrl+s save document
ctrl+o open document
ctrl+c copy
ctrl+x cut
ctrl+v paste
shift+arrow select text. By letter or symbol
ctrl+shift+arrow select text. by word or grouping
ctrl+shift+. increase text size
ctrl+shift+, decrease text size
The variables x and n can be replaced with words and full equations
2. Basic Math equations
Code:
Exponents
x^n xn
(x+x)^n (x+x)n
x^(n+n) x(n+n)
x^n+n xn+n
Division
x/n "x" divided by "n"
(x+x)/n "x" plus "x" total divided by "n"
x/(n+n) "x" divided by the sum of "n"+"n"
x/n+n "x"divided by "n" total plus "n"
Integrals: be sure to type spaces as indicated
\int x dx boundless integral over the function x
\int _0^n x dx integral with bounds zero to n over the function x
\int _0^(n+n) x dx integral with bounds zero to n plus n all over the function of x
\iint x dx double integral with no bounds
\iiint x dx triple intertal
(I am not sure if you can add bounds to all the integrals
I would use multiple single integrals for this as shown below)
\int_0^2\pi \int _0^pi \int _0^r r^2 sin \phi dr d\phi d\theta
bounds from 0 to 2(pi), 0 to pi and 0 to r
(this is an integral for a sphere of radius r)
3. Greek letters and symbols commonly used in equations:
Code:
Shortcuts (press space to change to symbol)
\Alpha A
\alpha α
\Beta B
\beta β
\Delta Δ
\delta δ
\partial ∂
\Gamma Γ
\gamma γ
\epsilon ϵ
\Epsilon Ε
\varepsilon ε
\eta η
\Eta H
\theta θ
\Theta Θ
\kappa κ
\Kappa K
\lambda λ
\Lambda Λ
\pi π
\Pi Π
\omega ω
\Omega Ω
\mu μ
\Mu M
\infty infinity symbol
4. Scripts
Code:
X^n Xn
X_n Xn
(I am not sure how to get the ones for elements where the scripts come before)
5. Limits/logs/trig:(type the equation as indicated, include the spaces as they are recognized by Microsoft Word.)
Code:
lim (x->0) x limit from x to zero subscript for x
log_x n logx n
sin x sine function
sin^-1 x inverse sine function
cos x cosine function
cos^-1 x inverse cosine function
tan x tangent function
tan^-1 x inverse tangent function
sinh x hyperbolic sine function
sinh^-1 x inverse hyperbolic sine function
cosh x hyperbolic cosine function
cosh^-1 x inverse hyperbolic cosine function
tanh x hyperbolic tangent function
tanh^-1 x inverse hyperbolic tangent function
6. Common character accents:press space two times to get the accent on said character
Code:
x\hat x with hat on top
x\dot x with dot on top
x\ddot x with two dots on top
x\dddot x with three dots on top
x\vec x with vector on top
x\tilde x with tilde on top
