Im looking to compose my own notes for a university unit that I attended before, and Im not sure if you have heard of Kopy Stop but they seem to have their own version of notes that they sell. (Kopy Stop charges around $15 for notes for alot of the maths units )

I must admit , it does seem a very profitable business, provided the notes are of a good standard.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

My bad, the maths notes unit reader range from $21-$29 , not the $15 as mentioned.

If your a keen student, you would use and buy set of notes which can give you any advantage over other students.

I'll also admit I sometimes buy notes off the StudentVIP website, from D or HD students.

Also find that pretty helpful. The only downside is sometimes your paying $29 for about 16 pages worth of course notes.

English was never my strong point but I will try to get better at it.

Want to try and get my English up to an Advanced level. I'll be honest I have tutored 3 English Advanced students in the past, 2 of them I tutored lasted 1 session and the other was from a Bangladesh family background who saw my ad listed online. I was asked to analyze and come up some comparison of texts in relation to Othello. I am shit at English.

actually speaking about it now, I tutored a Knox Grammar student , as well for 1 lesson. If you go to a selective or Grammar school in Sydney, your English is alot more coherent and posh.

Oh these aren't for my own personal "usage" lol

You know that my HSC was last year

That's not true, my school has a large Campbelltown sampling, so we have bogan streaks running everywhere.

How do you type up inequality signs?

Enter 'leq' or 'geq'

 

[davidgoes4wce]

How do you design a page width longer than the current settings?

I've got this problem on Bored of Studies and a random LaTeX generator online:

 

[leehuan]

Unless you use \begin{align*} \\ &= I don't know of any ways to do on actual LaTeX because I do not know of any page sizes larger than A4 to use in your preamble.

On the forum there's not much you can do. But by convention for a sequence nobody types out more than 3 terms before jumping straight to the final term. (P.S. you can use \dots to generate an ellipsis)

Is there an easy way to type a table in tex mode on BoS?

 

[dan964]

\begin{tabular}{ccc}11&12&13\\21&22&23\\31&32&33\end{tabular}

produces


The bracket after the \begin{tabular}, specifies columns: c for centre aligned, l for left aligned, r for right aligned

Unfortunately BOS latex, doesn't support the new line character so you have to type it all in one line.

\usepackage{graphicx} % Add images to your document

One thing I will point out is that graphicx isn't just for images. It can also be a more powerful resize tool for math.

So in standard LaTeX we see we can use these commands to resize math:

{\displaystyle \int x^2\ \!dx}\\
{\textstyle \int x^2\ \!dx}\\
{\scriptstyle \int x^2\ \!dx}\\
{\scriptscriptstyle \int x^2\ \!dx}

yielding this:



However if you load graphicx you can be somewhat more flexible with sizes using this

\scalebox{10}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{9}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{8}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{7}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{6}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{5}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{4}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{3}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{2}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.9}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.8}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.7}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.6}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.5}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.4}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.3}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.2}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1.1}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{1}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.9}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.8}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.7}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.6}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.5}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.4}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.3}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.2}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\
\scalebox{0.1}{$\int x^2\ \!dx$}\\

yielding this:
