Mathcad notation
|
|
|
If anyone is familiar with Mathcad, I'd like to be able to notate
variables in a more detailed way. In engineering, we use a lot of
symbols above and around the variable letter. For example, an "x" or
"y" or "H" variable might have a "^" carat or a "~" tilde above it,
with a "o" small circle in the upper right corner. This is similar to
the " ' " prime notation used in differential calculus. Another is a
dot above the variable signifying per unit time (m = mass, m(dot) =
mass/time). Anyway, I could just type in really long subscripts, but it
would be nice to use the conventional notation for my field. Any ideas
or sites that would help?
Thanks,
Taylor |

In my version (7, quite old now), you can type Ctrl-Shift-O,
then any formula inside the [], this is a valid variable name.
You can also use styles in variables (User 1 to User 7, available
when typing a variable name), and you can change their fonts.
And you can type greek variables too (but I guess you already know that
): type x then Ctrl-g to get a ksi, for example.
I think you can use Unicode characters in newer versions,
but not in mine. And there may be new tricks to get beautiful variable
names :-)
