Mathematic Fomulars
The mathematical typesetting is based on LaTeX, so if you need to search for the way to make a particular symbol, include latex in your search. But note: Not all LaTeX macros are available without using additional packages, and those packages likely will only work if you are creating a PDF. On the plus side, if you are working in PDF, you can use additional packages that give much better control and/or easier syntax.
This article is about the basics about math symbols in Latex.
