<tmdoc-title|Incorporating mathematical formulas into documents>
<TeXmacs> provides three main ways in order to enter a mathematical
formulas into the main text:
<\description>
<item*|<menu|Insert|Mathematics|Formula> or <key|$>>
This entry corresponds to small <em|inline formulas> like
<math|a<rsup|2>+b<rsup|2>=c<rsup|2>> inside a textual paragraph. Note
that formulas are typeset specially so they do not take too much vertical
space. For example, limits are always displayed on the left. Limits can
be displayed below in formulas with <menu|Format|Formula style|on>. In
formulas, formula style is off by default.
<item*|<menu|Insert|Mathematics|Equation> or <shortcut|(make-equation*)>>
This entry is used for entering bigger <em|displayed equations>, like
<\equation*>
x<rsup|n>+y<rsup|n>=z<rsup|n>,
</equation*>
which are typeset in a paragraph of their own. You may use the shortcut
<shortcut|(numbered-toggle (focus-tree))> in order to give the equation a
number (or to remove the number of an equation). Also,
<shortcut|(variant-circulate (focus-tree) #t)> allows you to switch
between inline formulas and displayed equations.
<item*|<menu|Insert|Mathematics|Equations> or
<shortcut|(make-eqnarray*)>>
This entry allows you to create an <markup|eqnarray*>, a three columns
wide table-like environment (see <hlink|creating
tables|../table/man-create-table.en.tm>). This environment is typically
used for lists of multiple relations like
<\eqnarray*>
<tformat|<table|<row|<cell|x+0>|<cell|=>|<cell|x>>|<row|<cell|x+<around|(|\<um\>x|)>>|<cell|=>|<cell|0>>|<row|<cell|x+y>|<cell|=>|<cell|y+x>>|<row|<cell|<around|(|x+y|)>+z>|<cell|=>|<cell|x+<around|(|y+z|)>>>>>
</eqnarray*>
The first column is centered to the right, the second one at the middle
and the last one at the left. An other typical use of the
<markup|eqnarray*> environment is a step by step computation
<\eqnarray*>
<tformat|<table|<row|<cell|<around*|(|\<mathe\><rsup|sin x>+sin
\<mathe\><rsup|x>|)><rprime|'>>|<cell|=>|<cell|<around*|(|\<mathe\><rsup|sin
x>|)><rprime|'>+<around*|(|sin \<mathe\><rsup|x>|)><rprime|'>>>|<row|<cell|>|<cell|=>|<cell|<around|(|sin
x|)><rprime|'>*\<mathe\><rsup|sin x>+<around*|(|\<mathe\><rsup|x>|)><rprime|'>*sin
\<mathe\><rsup|x>>>|<row|<cell|>|<cell|=>|<cell|\<mathe\><rsup|sin
x>*cos x+\<mathe\><rsup|x>*sin \<mathe\><rsup|x>,>>>>
</eqnarray*>
in which many entries of the left column are left open.
