          @debbie Are there other ways to type math like clicking on certain symbols to add them to your post? A toolbar that would allow you to highlight and change font size, colour, and boldness like the one in google docs would really help. I already know a few programming languages but it would still take quite some time and effort to learn latex especially for people who don't code. I doubt that lots of people would like to learn it.

            @CoherentMango That's a good question! At the moment I don't know of any other way besides typing in the commands manually. However, you may find that as you start to memorize commands, this ends up being faster. You won't have to take your hands off your keyboard! 🙂

              @debbie I find the commands much easier now, but I still have trouble trying to use many different commands together. Anyways, I'll probably get used to them in a while.

                @CoherentMango In the old days of Daily Challenge, we didn't have the forum, and instead used a Discussions feature on the course website which didn't support Latex. We had to make .png images of Latex and paste them in. It was quite a bit more onerous. So I really love the built-in Latex feature of this forum! 🙂

                  @debbie Haha that must have been really hard to do. I'm thankful that at least there was a forum when I joined 🙂

                      @divinedolphin Don't worry, it seems hard at first, but you'll soon learn enough to write little bits here and there. And making a little bit of code is really rewarding, however small the code may be! 🙂

                      It might be easier to click on the "%" button above. Then, you don't need to type the backslash and parentheses.

                      You can type directly some code like this, without worrying about the "wrapper" of the \ \ ( and \ \)

                      x^2 + x + 4 = 5

                        @debbie When you press the % symbol, it does this:

                        $$G_{\mu \nu }+\Lambda g_{\mu \nu }={8\pi G \over c^{4}}T_{\mu \nu } $$

                        ???

                          @RZ923 Yes, that's an example text that they always put in. Just delete that and type your own code. 🙂
