1. Membership
You can become a member of mathimatikoi.org by creating an account at mathimatikoi.org. It's free!
Note that only if you are registered you have full use of the site i.e. you can post questions, give answers and communicate with the other members. Otherwise you can post a question as a guest.

2. Writing mathematical formulas
Use the known $$\rm\LaTeX$$ code for writing mathematical formulas. (View wiki/Help:Formula for help. )
Mathematical expressions and formulas rendered by mathjax .

• For a mathematical formula in line, write the $$\rm\LaTeX$$ code between $$\backslash($$ and $$\backslash)$$, i.e. $$\backslash($$latex code$$\backslash)$$.
Example: $$\backslash($$\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$$\backslash)$$ gives $$\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$$ .
• For a centered mathematical formula, write the $$\rm\LaTeX$$ code either between  double dollars, or between  $$\backslash[$$ and $$\backslash]$$,
i.e. $$\\$$latex code$$\\$$, or $$\backslash[$$latex code$$\backslash]$$.
Example: $$\\$$\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$$\\$$ or $$\backslash[$$\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$$\backslash]$$ gives $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ NOTICE: the writing of in-line mathematical formula putting the $$\rm{\color{red}\LaTeX}$$ code between simple $$\color{red}\$$, i.e. $$\color{red}\$$latex code$$\color{red}\$$  NOT supported.

In the Questions & Answers page you can post mathematical questions or answer these.

• For more safe editing choose the Toggle editor tag at bottom-left. Paste the copied text in the popup window and click the Toggle editor tag again. (recommended).

Participation is what counts and that is priceless. But the members who participate more often honored with several badges which we hope you find, as we do, at least smart.

4. Why the mathematical formulas does not appearing correctly?

Mathematical formulas in mathimatikoi.org are rendered by mathjax, which is compatible with most browsers. We have checked mathjax in mathimatikoi.org and works correctly in Firefox (Linux and Windows), Chrome, Chromium, I.E. and others.

We recommend Firefox or Chrome (latest editions)

If the problem persists you can install the stix fonts in your computer and then mathjax will use them. (See instructions)

5. Need more help or have any suggestions?

6. Don't know  to write latex code?

If you do not know to write latex code, you can use the latex editor by pressing  the link labeled "Latex editor" at the top right on the website. In the pop-up window use the appropriate symbols from the menu to write the mathematical formula you want. The exact mathematical formula it appears below the yellow frame and in the yellow frame appears the latex code of the  formula. Copy the latex code and paste it into your post, putting it between the appropriate latex brackets, $$\backslash($$ and $$\backslash)$$ or $$\backslash[$$ and $$\backslash]$$ .

7. Questions about LaTeX. Testing the latex code.

If you have a question about LaTeX or you want to test a particular code, you can make a post in the category "LaTeX".
