Testing grounds?

$Ke = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = 0.5 mv^2$

$Ke = \frac{2}{2} mv^2 = 1 mv^2$

$Ke = \frac{3}{2} mv^2 = 1.5 mv^2$

$Ke = \frac{4}{2} mv^2 = 2 mv^2$

There is a link to practice ground in the initial post, arkain

Just to look cool and show how little life i have:

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm} \begin{picture}(250,200) % This is merely for reference %\multiput(0, 0)(7.5, 0){5}{\line(0, 1){20}} %\multiput(0, 0)(0, 5){5}{\line(1, 0){30}} \thicklines \put(5.5, 5.5){\line(1, 5){2.2}} \put(11.5, 5.5){\line(1, 5){.85}} \put(13, 12){\line(1, 5){0.75}} \put(18, 6){\line(1, 5){1.75}} \put(22, 6){\line(1, 5){1.75}} \put(13, 12){\line(1, 0){4.5}} \put(12.5, 10){\line(1, 0){4.5}} \qbezier(17, 10)(19, 11)(17.5, 12) \qbezier(5.5, 5.5)(7.5, 3)(11, 5.5) \qbezier(18, 6)(19.5, 4.5)(21.5, 6) \qbezier(7.7, 16.5)(10.5, 18.5)(13, 15.5) \qbezier(19.5,14.9)(21, 17)(23.75,14.9) \end{picture}$

Note: revision two, now even cooler looking

Ok, couple of new things i have so far found with this version of latex:

\left now requires \right, this is sort of a bummer sometimes, i know, but get used to it... (yes that means that you have to provide a right delimiter as well, no it cant be empty for some reason)

in arrays, the next array space delimiter i.e going to the second c in {c c} is a single & (it will scream at a double with a random issue "Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr")

By the way, you will notice that latex now shows you the error message, sometimes googling it is not a bad idea, or for a quick outline of the most common errors, have a quick glimpse at this page here: Common LaTeX Errors

Lastly you will notice that the [latex] tag no longer works at all, and i dont think we are bringing it back, though i should probably make it work like math tags, just so at least some of the formulas will show up

good one, Qfwfq, you are too good for your own good

If, like me, you have some equally geeky mates, this equation editor ( Warning: this is a download, maybe check Ronan's website first) allows you to compose Latex equations and drag/drop them in compiled form into your mailer (or OpenOffice, for that matter).

Beauty of Ubuntu - just click and all the dependencies come too, all correctly assigned. If you already have tetex and/or livetex, nothing is corrupted, as far as I can tell. 38 files are automatically downloaded and installed, ~30min on my rig

Open with the command "eqe" in your terminal. I like it a lot.
