I'm taking a class on proofs this semester. My first assignment is to prove propositions using axioms. Is there software I can use to type these mathematical symbols and equations?

  • $\begingroup$ I can solve the homework, just want a software that can type mathematically. Sorry I am new to this. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 6:01

    $\begingroup$ I suggest LaTeX, it is free and this site uses it to write math too $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 6:06

    $\begingroup$ @Rizky Reza Fujisaki There's a stack exchange specifically for LaTeX questions, so I would suggest asking there instead. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 6:50

LaTeX is the gold standard for typesetting mathematics. Just install MiKTeX and you're ready to go. I personally prefer TeXmaker to the default editor (TeXworks) provided with MiKTeX, but there's plenty of options to chose from. Also, if you can't remember what the command is for some given symbol, detexify is very useful.

    $\begingroup$ It may be worth noting that we use a variant of LaTeX to typeset mathematics on this site. With a little practice, and sometimes cutting and pasting (but always carefully!), you can write math in LaTeX almost as easily as by hand. (Or so it seems to me.) $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 31, 2016 at 6:39
