MathTran

    Sometimes, it is really necessary to display a complex formula; such as this:

    Mathran

    I use MathTran to achieve this, rather than doing a complex server-side install of Latex. Then I can use a URL like the one below to dynamically display the equation above:

    https://www.mathtran.org/cgi-bin/mathtran?D=1;tex=textstyle%20Delta%20x%20%2CDelta%20p_x%20ge%20hbar/2

    That reminds me, there is a Google API for doing charts on the fly. The simple example they give is:

    Hello world example

    Hello world example

    Although much more complex graphs ((Thanks to https://www.felipebarone.com/plot-function-google.php [now defunct] for this example)) are possible:

    • It seems like MathTran has gone away/morphed into something else.
