Update: The post below was written back when CV was on its own. Here on the Discover site, the way to put something into Latex is to start with $latex and end with a simple $ This stands in marked contrast with the previous system, explained below. ------------------------------------------------------- For a long time I was reluctant to joint the many other sciencey blogs that had integrated equations by providing support for LaTeX, the technical typesetting system that nearly every physicist and mathematician uses. Possible reasons for this attitude include:
We felt it was important to remain accessible to a wide range of readership, and feared that the appearance of equations would put people off (and tempt us into being unnecessarily technical).
It sounded like work.
You can decide for yourself which is more true. The good thing is, there is no wrong answer! But right now I am uninspired to blog ...
