In the basic installation, Math outputs variables in italics. If we enter a function, Math usually recognizes it and outputs it normally. If Math fails to recognize a function, we can inform Math about it by entering the markup code ‘func’ before the function. By using this code, the text following the code will be…

Using Brackets in Formulas The most difficult part in using LibreOffice Math is when writing complicated formulas. This is because LibreOffice Math knows nothing about the order of operations. We need to use brackets in order to state the order of operations explicitly. Consider the example which has been shown in the below given illustration.…

Greek characters (α, β, γ, θ, etc.) are common in mathematical formulas. These characters are not available in the Elements window or the right-click context menu in Math. Fortunately, the markup code for Greek characters is very simple. We just need to type a ‘%’ sign followed by the name of the character, in English.…

Another way of entering formulas into Math is by using the context menu. This menu can be accessed by right-clicking inside the editor window. The steps to be followed are almost similar to what were followed for using the elements window. To insert ‘7 x 8’, right-click inside the editor window and this will display…

From the resulting drop-down, click on ‘Options’. This will open the ‘Options’ dialog box. In the ‘Options’ dialog box, under ‘LibreOffice’, in ‘User Data’…

It is most commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used with other types of documents or as a stand-alone tool. When used inside Writer, the equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Open, close…
