Writing equations

MindNode supports many commonly used LaTeX commands, including:

• Fractions: \frac{a}{b}
• Exponents: x^2
• Subscripts: x_1
• Square roots: \sqrt{x}
• Greek letters: \alpha, \beta, \pi
• Summations: \sum
• Integrals: \int

Here are some examples:

• LaTeX: \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} → Quadratic formula
• LaTeX: E = mc^2 → Einstein's mass-energy equation
• LaTeX: \int_a^b x^2\,dx → Definite integral

Supported LaTeX

MindNode supports subset of standard LaTeX commands as well as many commonly used mathematical environments.

Please note: Some advanced LaTeX packages and commands are not supported, commands that rely on external LaTeX packages may not render correctly.
