How do you "write math" on the comp

[amol]

Meaning . . . if I wanted to IM somebody what a certain math problem is, how do i show "square root"

like if you want to put "x squared", you put x ^2

what do you put for "square root of x" ??

 

[Fingers]

.

 

[Shawn]

x^1/2

"x squared" and "square root of x" seem to have worked just fine in this thread.

Same, if its something more complicated like a diagram or a long series of equations, it's sometimes easier to churn it out quickly in mspaint.

unicode.

That requires way too much effort. Talk about something else besides math.

 

[Anubis]

search for "Equation editor" it comes with office/word

its what all us physics majors used in college

 

[So]

x^(1/2) or X^.5

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

math.sqrt(x)
