What is Math? Math is OpenOffice.org’s component for writing mathematical equations. It is most commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used with other types of documents or stand-alone. When used inside Writer, the equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Note Getting started The equation editor is for writing equations in symbolic form, as in equation 1. If you want to evaluate a numeric value, see the Calc Guide. df (x) dx =ln ( x)+tan−1 ( x 2 ) (1) To insert an equation, choose Insert > Object > Formula. The equation editor opens at the bottom of the screen, and the floating Elements window (called “Selection” before Math 3.2 and “Formula Elements” in Math 3.2) may appear. You will also see a small box with a gray border in your document, where the formula will be displayed. Figure 246: Equation Editor, Elements window, and location of resulting equation. 254 Getting Started with OpenOffice.org 3.3
Entering a formula The equation editor uses a markup language to represent formulas. For example, %beta creates the Greek character beta ( ). This markup is designed to read similar to English whenever possible. For example, a over b produces a fraction: a b . You can enter a formula in three ways: • Select a symbol from the Elements window. • Right-click on the equation editor and select the symbol from the context menu. • Type markup in the equation editor. The context menu and the Elements window insert the markup corresponding to a symbol. This provides a convenient way to learn the Math markup. Note Click on the document body to exit the formula editor. Double-click on a formula to enter the formula editor again. The Elements window The simplest method for entering a formula is to use the Elements window. Figure 247: Symbols are divided into categories The Elements window is divided into two main parts. • The top shows the symbol categories. Click on these to change the list of symbols. • The bottom shows the symbols available in the current category. Tip You can hide or show the Elements window with View > Elements.
