LaTeX Sandbox at Asymptotia

LaTeX Sandbox

This is a space, easily accessible from the front page, where you can practice your LaTeX/MimeTeX commands for writing equations for adding to discussions, etc. You can see several people’s experiments at the earlier post here.

Instructions and examples are to be found at the mimeTeX site, and there is a place to practice there too. Their tutorial is here. (The part on pictures is here.)

The key thing for getting your equation to show up on the site in a comment is to enclose it between the following two delimiters:

[ tex] (LaTeX-like commands go here) [ /tex]

…but don’t include the spaces after the brackets. I had to do that just now to stop the blog machine from turning them into instructions to make an equation.

Beware that for some more technical things (such as pictures) the mimeTeX command set is a bit different from the LaTeX ones you might be familiar with. Consult the manual above.

From time to time I will come in here and clean up the mess, so don’t leave things here that you want to keep for too long. This is just for practice.

Ah, what the heck. Besides the Clifford algebra / idempotent structure of the fermions, the other physics thing I’ve been working on is a related coincidence in the masses of the leptons. The paper has the unusual attribute of being written by an obviously insane amateur, no PhD, doesn’t believe in relativity, never published, but nevertheless it is already referenced by various papers in the physics literature, one of these peer reviewed.

The relation can be thought of as geometric, and anything geometric can also be put into holiday format. Hmmm…

Yes, we can graph the lepton masses in “Star of David” form. Furthermore, the numbers are accurate to close to the center of current experimental measurements. Hope the boss doesn’t find out that I’m doing this.

This is tuff stuff and will be tackling when I get back. Maybe a good book some where? I’ve exhausted many sites looking for examples of trees I know that’s cheating.

I was thinking a comparative construction look at the latex written, and beside it, the tree. Just to get the idea of building imagery alongside of latex.

Merry Christmas.

Okay, here’s some advice:

(1) Read the Mimetex notes on picture, and take advantage of all the features.
(2) To get decent shading, you have to use the multiput command, which goes something like (x,y;dx,dy;N).
(3) The practice sandbox over on Mimetex only allows you to draw simple figures, so to practice a complicated figure you have to only draw part of at a time.
(4) Mimetex is sufficiently different from the usual LaTex language that you should do your drawing in the Mimetex itself, rather than trying to do it in your favorite language and then transfering over.
(5) Maybe it’s just me, but I had a lot of bit noise. If you figure out how to avoid that, do tell. Maybe I should have scaled things smaller, and got more bits.

29 Mouseover
January 4, 2007 at 9:47 am

Delete after implementation.

When you put mouse cursor over top of images one notices the latex language written.

IN the “upper three boxes” you wouldn’t want to see the whole box, yet in image production it’s not a bad idea.

This information is specified to a certain “title” html length, so we only see so much of the title aspect of that language. Can you increase the “title length” to include however large that image or equation is, to include all of the latex language?

Also, the duration time of appearance of “title length” to allow for a greater absorption time.

Thanks

Hmm?
$P\left(A|B\right) = \frac {P\left(B|A\right)P\left(A)\right)} {P\left(B\right)}$

$e^{-x/2} \text{Ai}\left(\frac{\frac{1}{4}-l x}{(-l)^{2/3}}\right) C+e^{-x/2} \text{Bi}\left(\frac{\frac{1}{4}-l x}{(-l)^{2/3}}\right)D$

$12 + \sqrt(12) = 7 \begin{gather}12 + \sqrt(12) = 7 \end{gather}$

$g_{ab} = \left(\begin{array}{cc} \frac{{\Delta-a^2 sin^2\theta}}{\rho^2} & 0 & 0 & \frac{2a sin^2\theta (r^2+a^2-\Delta}}{\rho^2} \\ 0 & -\frac{\rho^2}{\Delta} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \rho^2 & 0 \\ \frac{2a sin^2\theta (r^2+a^2-\Delta}}{\rho^2} & 0 & 0 & \frac{sin^2 \theta (\Delta a^2 -(r^2 + a^2)^2}{\rho^2} \end{array}\right)$
