I want to know about....

I want to know how do we use integral symbol and other math symbols in this website?

At the top of the page is a pulldown tab “Forum Help”.
On that tab there are several links to using TeX.
If you use Windows, the TeXaide program is free for downloading

thnx.. and yea i already download that software and typed the math problem in using that software, but how do i move that problem to this website? i tried to use copy-paste, but it didn't work.

You can copy and paste, but first you must get rid of that 'gobbledy-gook' at the top after you paste. At least that's what I have to do. Remember to put the tex brackets around it.

[tex]\int \sin{x} \, dx[/tex]

\(\displaystyle \int \sin{x} \, dx\)

or, bigger:

[tex]\L \int \sin{x} \, dx[/tex]

\(\displaystyle \L \int \sin{x} \, dx\)

The copy and paste feature should work correctly. Just highlight the section of math you want to use and select copy.

Also, you can go to Edit-->Translators and uncheck the box to include all that extra junk in your code. Makes things easier to copy and paste.

In the software, go to “Preferences: tab. Under “translators” make sure ‘TeX-LaTeX and later is chosen.
Type your equation. You will something like this:
\[
f(x) = \frac{{\cos ^2 (x)}}{{1 - x}}
\]

NOW change \[ to \(\displaystyle \L and change \] to \).
You will get:
\(\displaystyle \L
f(x) = \frac{{\cos ^2 (x)}}{{1 - x}}\)

:?

so i should type those codes in this website?

Yep, where you type your message normally.
