Math Symbols
I put a few maths symbols in the description up top. You should be able to drag your mouse across one, then copy and paste it into the post like this:
√4 = 2
2 ≠ 3
2² = 4
³√(27) = 3
ƒ(x) = x³
θ = 20°
Hope this looks and works fine for everyone.

Re: Math Symbols
So, ryudo, what are you studying in math at the moment?
I have to go now, but if you reply here, I will see it later and reply to you - so be sure to check back in a day or so.
Bye for now.

Re: Math Symbols
They look good as decorative items, too!

Re: Math Symbols
That is amazingly useful.
∫3x² dx=x³+c
Sorry, felt like trying it out...

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Math Symbols
2 ÷ 1 = 2
½ × 2 = 1
θ = theta (I think)
Oh, no! What does this one mean? ±

Re: Math Symbols
√4=±2.
Because 2² and (-2)² both=4
θ is indeed a greek letter called theta, usually used in maths for angles.

Re: Math Symbols
Theta drags. Omega is the best greek letter.

I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Re: Math Symbols
I prefer lambda and mu.

Re: Math Symbols
We obviously can't forget Pi, Phi and Psi.

Re: Math Symbols
I suppose so. I had a Greek maths teacher, and she was really really nice!
