Mathematical formulas often contain a specific structure, with sub-stripes and other special symbols. In Windows 10 you can easily draw it!
In high school, further study or work they come regularly: mathematical formulas. And to build it up again in a Word document or something like that is often quite a hassle. But it can be a lot easier! In the Start menu under Accessories, click once Math Input Panel. Indeed: this is also an English-language part in a Dutch version of Windows 10. But don’t be put off by that, the effect is soon clear. Actually, the tool – we guess – is intended for touch screens. If you have such a screen, it will come in handy (finally?). But fear not: you can also go a long way with the mouse. Or of course a drawing tablet. Anyway, the idea is that in the yellow area you simply write your formula by hand, just as you would on paper.
Insert
Once your formula is ready, you start something like Word. Then click in Math Input Panel Insert. And there is your formula! If you make a mistake while writing your formula, you will see a panel on the right side of the drawing field with various correction buttons. Interesting Select and Correct. Draw a selection around the part you want to correct. Then a list of possible alternatives appears, choose something to your liking and the correction will be implemented. Ideal for if your handwriting is just a little less legible, or if your mouse creation may not be quite your liking. In any case, a nice tool that can come in handy every now and then! Especially if you have to produce a report of, for example, a practical physics test or something similar.
