LaTeX is now enabled for these boards. For those who don't know, LaTeX is a common way to display math on computers. Instead of writing T=2*rho*A_mainrotor*w^2, you can say: \(T=2\rho A_{mainrotor}w^2\), which looks ages better and is much easier to understand, especially when our equations get more complex.
Using LaTeX is relatively easy. In order to enter LaTeX code (in other words, to signal the page that you are about to type LaTeX code--you MUST do this in order for the conversion to LaTeX to occur), type:
Some other basic examples:
\(\delta \Delta\)
\(\frac{\gamma}{8}\dot\beta+\ddot\beta\)
The basics of how you can input math are given in many places, but I think that this is a good primer:

It is a pretty straightforward language to use, although it does need some getting used to. However, especially if we do derivations, this could be EXTREMELY helpful in clarifying terms. Enjoy!

\(...\) where "..." is your math. For example, the code I wrote to make the previous equation is as follows: \(T=2\rho A_{mainrotor}w^2\)Some other basic examples:
Greek letters: \(\delta\Delta\) yields:\(\delta \Delta\)
Fractions and dot operators: \(\frac{\gamma}{8}\dot\beta\+\ddot\beta) yields:\(\frac{\gamma}{8}\dot\beta+\ddot\beta\)
