Equations

MisterChrister,

You can paste graphics of scientific formulas into Pages. I think that you will find that if you format the graphic as Floating it will be easier to manage the placement. OS X includes a nifty expression writer in Grapher.app (in the Utilities folder), with which you can create and then copy the expression for placement into Pages. Simple Subscripts and Superscripts can be accomplished with special fonts or by selecting Format > Font > Baseline > Superscript (or Subscript).

Hope this helps.

I thought that the UI for Grapher wasn't significantly more or less difficult than the equation writer in Word. Others can help you with the special fonts better than I can.

Good luck,

Jerry

Open Character Palette (Special Characters).
In the search field on the bottom, enter 2192.
Select the arrow → (and not the Chinese character 迭 obviously).
Expand the section Font Variation.

And you should have a list of all fonts containing right arrow.


For equations you could try MathType, which gives you a 30 days evaluation. That will then turn into a "Lite" version which seems to be free.

hello, i have also bought i'work 2008 but i cn't use it because there is not equation editor.
i think apple doesn' t like mathematics and mathematic's teacher.

Hi Jerry,

I need your help man.

Thanks for helping with the equations in Grapher.app. However, when I try to use Superscript (or Subscript), Format >Font>Baseline>Superscript (or Subscript), it is gray!!! I try highlighted, not highlighted and still the same. What's the deal?

Many thanks,

E.

I use LaTeXiT. Free Download from the Apple downloads site. You can easily script very complicated equations && Journals like the latex coding. Looks better than the Word Equation Editor.

You are giving the advice to become a thief !

Normal, in the Formula editor, we don't enter superscript from the font menu but from the "Equation Palette".
