UNI wiki allows adding equations using <math>\LaTeX</math> markup by using [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleMathJax SimpleMathJax]. Just place the expression in between <nowiki><math></math></nowiki> and it will be rendered.

You will be expected to learn to use Latex from other sources. This page contains only some useful information and formatting guidelines for use on this wiki.

For more in depth reading you can read the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Mathematics]]. But do note that Uni Wiki uses different math extension than Wikipedia.

== Useful <math>\LaTeX</math> knowledge ==

* Spaces do not ~~do anything~~. Use plenty of ~~them~~ to make the ~~commands easy~~ to read

By default the math will be in inline mode. This is good for mixing math into text. For equations that are not among text you will usually want to use display mode. This will allow the equations to gain more height.

** This here has 17 spaces in it (visible only in editor): <~~nowiki~~><math> ~~a =~~ b ~~+ c~~ </math></~~nowiki~~> <math> a = b + c </math>

To use display mode just add <code>\displaystyle</code> at the beginning of the expression.

Example:

<math> \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n a_k </math>

<code> \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n a_k</code>

Some expressions apply to the whole equation. The affected area can be limited by surrounding it with curly bracets.

Examples:

<math> \color{red} a = c </math>

<code> \color{red} a = c</code>

<math> { \color{red} a } = c </math>

<code> { \color{red} a } = c</code>

To write roman text instead of italic text you can use either <code>\text{}</code> or <code>\rm</code> depending on your exact needs.<br>

<code>\text{}</code> will only apply to the text within curly brackets. Additionally it will make spaces visible.<br>

<code>\rm</code> will change the whole equation into roman text. This will not change how spaces are removed. The area of effect can be limited by placing the expression oin curly bracets.

Examples:

<math> \text{This is roman with spaces} </math>

<code>\text{This is roman with spaces}</code>

Normally spaces will be removed from the equation when it is rendered. Use plenty of spaces to make the latex code easier to read. If you want to keep spaces you can use the <code>\text{}</code> as shown above. If you just want to insert spaces into the equation you can use <code>\ </code> for normal space and <code>\,</code> for thin space.

Examples:

If you want to change the size of text in equation you can use <code>\large</code>, <code>\Large</code> or <code>\LARGE</code> to make it bigger. This is most useful with nested exponents and fractions. The affected area can be limited by surrounding it with curly brackets.

Example:

* \text{} makes spaces visible and text into roman.

<math> a^{\Large \frac{b}{c} } </math> <code>a^{\Large \frac{b}{c} }</code>

** <nowiki><math> \~~text~~{~~This is like normal text~~} ~~= This is math text~~ </math><~~/nowiki> <math~~> ~~\text~~{~~This is roman with spaces} = This is italic without spaces</math>~~

** \~~mathrm is similar but does not remove spaces. <nowiki><math>~~ \~~mathrm~~{~~arc sinh~~} ~~</math></nowiki> <math> \mathrm~~{~~arc sinh~~} </~~math~~>

* \rm will make the whole thing to be in roman instead of italic. Spaces will still be removed.

** <nowiki><math> \rm Velocity = S p e e d </math></nowiki> <math> \rm Velocity = S p e e d</math>

** {} can be used to limit its scope. <nowiki><math> { \rm Roman } = Italic</math></nowiki> <math> { \rm Roman } = Italic</math>

* "\ " adds single space.

** <nowiki><math> abb \ b\ b\ b </math></nowiki> <math> abb \ b\ b\ b </math>

* "\," adds single thin space

Long equations can be written on multiple lines in multiple separate math tags and they will be rendered as one continuous equation. This is good for long equations that would be hard to edit otherwise.

** <nowiki><math~~> abb \,b\,b\,b </math></nowiki> <math> abb \,b\,b\,b </math>~~

* \displaystyle makes tall equations bigger and more beautiful. Will apply on things like sums and fractions.

Example:

** <nowiki><math> a= \frac{b}{c} + \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k </math></nowiki> <math> a= \frac{b}{c} + \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k </math>

** <nowiki><math> \displaystyle a= \frac{b}{c} + \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k </math></nowiki> <math> \displaystyle a= \frac{b}{c} + \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k </math>

* \large, \Large and \LARGE make text bigger. Like with \rm use {} to limit their scope. These help with things nested in exponents as exponent makes things smaller.

** <nowiki><math> a~~^{\Large \frac{b}{c} }~~ </math>~~</nowiki>~~ <math> ~~a^{\Large \frac{~~b~~}{c} } </math>. Compare to <math> a^{\frac{~~b~~}{c} }~~ </math>

* Long equations can be split to multiple separate <nowiki><math></nowiki> lines. It will look the same as if it was written in one go.

** <nowiki><math> a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a++a+a+a+a~~+b+b+b+b+b+b++b+b+b+b+b++b+b+b+b+b~~ </math></nowiki> <~~math> a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a++a+a+a+a+b+b+b+b+b+b++b+b+b+b+b++b+b+b+b+b </math~~>
