Description

Cheatsheet for LaTex, using Markdown for markup. I use this with atom.io and 📦markdown-preview-plus to write math stuff. 📦keyboard-localization is necessary when using an international layout (like [swiss] german).

Further Reference and source: ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/short-math-guide.pdf

Example expressions / functions

Input Rendered
$a = b + c − d$ $a = b + c − d$
$\sqrt{?\frac{\pi}{2}}$ $\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}$
$y = a x_1^2 + b x_2 + c$ $y = a x_1^2 + b x_2 + c$
