LaTeX is awesome.

[notfred]

I finally know how they make the formulas in math books and things 🙂

\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\

And yes, I know it's 20 years old, but I just used it for the first time 😛

How the fvck do you put a "]" character in link text in fusetalk?

 

[Pepsi90919]

your link is the sh1t.

 

[gopunk]

just wrote a paper in it 🙂

 

[StephenM]

Wrote my master's thesis with it 🙂

There's also some plug-ins for word that let you enter equations in LaTeX format, which for me is faster than the built in equation editor. There's also some nice graphical front ends for it, such as Scientific Workplace.

Math Geeks ONLY need apply!!!! 😕

Someone else needs to post a "YES!!! *PROOF* Single-celled organisms DO have a pri-polymide non-carbonic protease in the 343rd DNA string!!!!!" thread.

It would go perfectly with this one.

I wish I would have been forced to write in LaTeX from the get in grad school. I plan to write the dissertation in LaTeX, especially since there is a class file for our school's formatting guidelines.
