Is there any software in which I can make math and scientific equations easily. I want the usual superscript, subscript, arrows, and symbols of Calculus, Greel letters and the rest of the works
I tried KFormula, but it takes a long time to make formulae using it.
Tex/Latex is the greatest of all math typsetters. Its packages are found in the t/ directory of Slackware. Learning how to use it properly might take you some time, but you will find the effort worth your while if you do a lot of this kind of typesetting.
I meant, it's in the "t" package series, disk set, or whatever it's called. You don't have to worry about it since you did a full install. I think the main package is called tetex -- check out the documentation in /usr/doc/tetex-<version>. There's also tons of stuff availabe online. You can probably find a quick-start tutorial if you google for it. Does anyone know a good one?
There's also a WYSIWYG front-end called Lyx. I tried it and didn't like it, as I prefer to type in the code myself (at least, back in the days I was using it), but you can give it a try.
