Writing Equations on Our Blogs!

THIS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE!!

I installed a script that will allow us to write equations on our class blogs.

In order for text to show up as an equation, simply put a $ on each end up what you write. For example, if you want

1/2 x^2 + 3x - 7 = 0 to show up as an equation put a $ before the 1/2 and another after the 0.

Ex. $1/2 x^2 + 3x - 7 = 0$

The equations will not display properly when you preview your post, but if you Publish the post it will show up. If you publish, but made an error, you can click the Pencil icon to edit your post.

This explanation is very basic. If you want to get very fancy with your equations, you can read about it here. The programming language we are using to enter equations is called LaTeX. You may explore this more in depth if you care to, but it is not necessary.
