This tutorial will discuss only command based Math Type as this is considered a faster method of
displaying the data.
Matrices:
Simple Matrice (2x2):
(
1 2
3 4
)
## New line # Seperator { }Start-End brackets
If you use the Formula Editor Toolbar then the code in the command box will show a question mark in
square brakcets <?> replace the whole thing with whatever character you require
Example:
(3x3) matrix:
(
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
)
left (matrix{1 # 2 # 3 ## 4 # 5 # 6 ## 7 # 8 #9 } right )
The left and right commands are important for the brackets to be able to
fit the whole matrice
Symbols:
If you need a symbol then you must know the name of the symbol.
Alternatively there is a list from the menu.

Questions.
Devise the Math Type code for the following:
1.

c
( F(r)d r )=

c
( F
1
dx+F
2
dy+F
3
dz )
For the limits use the limits from function
2.

0
n
2
|sin(t ) ,cos(t )sin(t )|sin (t ) cos (t ) dt
For the limits use the limits from and to function
3.
a
b
+c

xx
0
=acos(t )
yy
0
=acos
2
( t )

left none phantom \{{a} over {b} + c right rbrace newline

left none phantom \{ matrix {x-x_0=acos(t)## y-y_0=acos^2(t)} right
rbrace newline
Phantom makes sure the last bracket remains the correct size. For non-scaled brackets use a
backslash. For scaled brackets use none.
3. Create the Jacobian

{partial y} # {partial v} over {partial y} }right rline
