Who is this book for?

LibreOffice Math is a formula (equation) editor that is an integral part of LibreOffice. Anyone who wants to learn how to insert formulas and equations using Math will find this guide valuable.

If you have never used LibreOffice Math before, or you want an introduction to all of the LibreOffice

components, you might like to read the LibreOffice Getting Started Guide first.

Where to get more help

This guide, other LibreOffice user guides, the built-in Help system, and user support systems assume that you are familiar with your computer and basic functions such as starting a program, opening and saving files.

Help system

LibreOffice comes with an extensive Help system. This is your first line of support for using

LibreOffice.

To display the full Help system, press F1 or go to Help > LibreOffice Help on the main menu bar. In addition, you can choose whether to activate Tips, Extended tips, and the Help Agent by going to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General on the main menu bar.

If Tips are enabled, hover the mouse pointer over any of the icons and a small balloon (tooltip) will

pop up giving a brief explanation of the function for that icon. For a more detailed explanation, select Help > What's This? on the main menu bar and hover the pointer over the icon.

Free online support

The LibreOffice community not only develops software, but provides free, volunteer-based support. See Table 1 and this web page: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/

Preface | 9

Paid support and training

Alternatively, you can pay for support services. Service contracts can be purchased from a vendor or consulting firm specializing in LibreOffice.

What you see may be different

LibreOffice runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems, each of which has several versions and can be customized by users (fonts, colors, themes, window managers).

Illustrations

The illustrations in this guide were taken from a variety of computers and operating systems. Therefore, some illustrations will not look exactly like what you see on your computer display. Also, some of the dialogs may be different because of the settings selected in LibreOffice. You can either use dialogs from your computer system or dialogs provided by LibreOffice. To change to using LibreOffice dialogs if settings have been altered:

1)Access the general options for LibreOffice as follows:

-On Linux and Windows operating systems, go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General on the main menu bar to open the dialog for general options. -On a Mac operating system, go to LibreOffice > Preferences > General on the main menu bar to open the dialog for general options.

2)Select Use LibreOffice dialogs in Open/Save dialogs to display and use the LibreOffice

dialogs for opening and saving files.

3)For Linux operating systems only, select Use LibreOffice dialogs in Print Dialogs to display

and use the LibreOffice dialogs for printing your documents.

4)Click OK to save your settings and close the dialog.

Note If you are using a Linux operating system as a virtual machine on a computer running a Windows or Mac operating system, then the LibreOffice option of using Print Dialogs is not available. Icons The icons used to illustrate some of the many tools available in LibreOffice may differ from the

ones used in this guide. The icons in this guide have been taken from a LibreOffice installation that

has been set to display the Galaxy set of icons. If you wish, you can change your LibreOffice software package to display Galaxy icons as follows:

1)Access the view options for LibreOffice as follows:

-On Linux and Windows operating systems, go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View on the main menu bar to open the dialog for view options. -On a Mac operating system, go to LibreOffice > Preferences > View on the main menu bar to open the dialog for view options.

2)In User interface, select Galaxy from the options available in the Icon size and style drop-

down list.

3)Click OK to save your settings and close the dialog.

10 | Math Guide Version 4.4

NOTE Some Linux operating systems, for example Ubuntu, include LibreOffice as part of the installation and may not include the Galaxy icon set. You should be able to download the Galaxy icon set from the software repository for your Linux operating system.

What are all these things called?

The terms used in LibreOffice for most parts of the user interface (the parts of the program you see and use, in contrast to the behind-the-scenes code that actually makes it work) are the same as for most other programs. A dialog is a special type of window. Its purpose is to inform you of something, or request input from you, or both. It provides controls for you to use to specify how to carry out an action. The technical names for common controls are shown in Figure 1. In most cases we do not use the technical terms in this book, but it is useful to know them because the Help and other sources of information often use them. Figure 1: Dialog (from Calc) showing common controls

1)Tabbed page (not strictly speaking a control).

2)Radio buttons (only one can be selected at a time).

3)Checkbox (more than one can be selected at a time).

4)Spin box (click the up and down arrows to change the number shown in the text box next to

it, or type in the text box).

5)Thumbnail or preview.

6)Drop-down list from which to select an item.

7)Push buttons.

Preface | 11

In most cases, you can interact only with the dialog (not the document itself) as long as the dialog remains open. When you close the dialog after use (usually, clicking OK or another button saves your changes and closes the dialog), then you can again work with your document. Some dialogs can be left open as you work, so you can switch back and forth between the dialog and your document. An example of this type is the Find & Replace dialog.

Using LibreOffice on a Mac

Some keystrokes and menu items are different on a Mac from those used in Windows and Linux. The table below gives some common substitutions for the instructions in this chapter. For a more detailed list, see the application Help.

Creating & Editing Formulas

16 | Math Guide Version 4.4

Introduction

Math is a formula editor module included with LibreOffice that allows you to create or edit formulas (equations) in a symbolic form, within LibreOffice documents or as stand-alone objects; example formulas are shown below. However, if you want to evaluate numeric values using formulas, then refer to the Calc Guide for more information as Math does not carry out any actual calculation.df(x) dx=ln(x)+tan-1(x2)orNH3+H2O⇌NH4 ++OH-The Formula Editor in Math uses a markup language to represent formulas. This markup language is designed to be easily read wherever possible, for example, a over b produces the fraction a bwhen used in a formula.

Getting started

Using the Formula Editor, you can create a formula as a separate document or file for a formula

library, or insert formulas directly into a document using LibreOffice Writer, Calc, Impress or Draw.

Formulas as separate documents or files

To create a formula as a separate document or file, use one of the following methods to open an empty formula document in LibreOffice Math (Figure 2). •On the main menu bar, go to File > New > Formula. •On the Standard toolbar, click the triangle to the right of the New icon and select

Formula from the context menu.

Figure 2: An empty formula document in Math

Chapter 1 Creating & Editing Formulas | 17

•From the Start Center, click Math Formula. •From within LibreOffice Math, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N. As you enter the markup language in the Formula Editor, the formula will appear in the Preview window during and after input of the markup language. The Elements Dock to the left of the Preview window and/or the Elements dialog as a floating dialog may also appear, if these have been selected in View on the main menu bar. For more information on creating formulas, see "Creating formulas" on Page 19.

Formulas in LibreOffice documents

To insert a formula into a LibreOffice document, open the document in Writer, Calc, Draw, or Impress. The LibreOffice module you are using affects how you position the cursor to insert the formula. •In Writer, click in the paragraph where you want to insert the formula. •In Calc, click in the spreadsheet cell where you want to insert the formula. •In Draw and Impress, the formula is inserted into the center of the drawing or slide. Then, go to Insert > Object > Formula on the main menu bar to open the Formula Editor. Alternatively, go to Insert > Object > OLE Object on the main menu bar to open the Insert OLE Object dialog, select Create new option and Formula from the sub-menu, then click OK to open the Formula Editor. The Elements Dock to the left of the Preview window and/or the Elements dialog as a floating dialog may also appear, if these have been selected in View on the main menu bar. For more information on creating formulas, see "Creating formulas" on Page 19. Figure 3 shows an example Writer document with the formula box selected ready for a formula to be entered.

Figure 3: Empty formula in a Writer document

18 | Math Guide Version 4.4

When you have completed entering the markup language for your formula, close the Formula Editor by pressing the Esc key or by clicking an area outside the formula in your document. Double-clicking on the formula object in your document will open the Formula Editor again so that you can edit the formula. Formulas are inserted as OLE objects into documents. You can, as with any OLE object, change how the object is placed within your document. For more information on OLE objects, see Chapter

2 Formulas in Writer, Chapter 3 Formulas in Calc, Draw & Impress and the user guides for Writer,

Calc, Draw, and Impress.

If you frequently insert formulas into documents, it is recommended to add the Formula button to the Standard toolbar or create a keyboard shortcut. See Chapter 4 Customization for more information.

Creating formulas

You can insert a formula using one of the following methods: •Select a category, then a symbol using the Elements dialog. •Select a category from the drop-down list, then a symbol using the Elements Dock. •Right-click in the Formula Editor and select a category, then a symbol from the context menu. •Enter markup language directly in the Formula Editor. NOTE Using the Elements dialog, Elements Dock, or the context menus to insert a formula provides a convenient way to learn the markup language used by LibreOffice Math.

Elements dialog

1)Go to View > Elements on the main menu bar to open the Elements dialog (Figure 4).

2)Select the category you want to use in your formula from the upper part of the Elements

dialog.

3)Select the symbol you want to use in your formula from the bottom part of the Elements

dialog. The symbols that are available change according to the selected category.

Figure 4: Elements dialog

Chapter 1 Creating & Editing Formulas | 19

Tip When using the Elements dialog or the Elements Dock, it is recommended to have Tips selected in the LibreOffice Options. This will help you identify the categories and symbols you want to use in your formula. Go to Tools > Options on the main menu bar, then select LibreOffice > General in the Options dialog and select Tips in the

Help section.

Elements Dock

The Elements Dock has the same categories as the Elements dialog and either can easily be used when entering your formula data. However, the Elements Dock also provides an Example category which gives you example formulas to use as a starting point for your formula or equation.

1)Go to View on the main menu bar and select Elements Dock to open the Elements Dock

(Figure 5).

2)Select the category you want to use in your formula from the drop-down list at the top of the

Elements Dock.

3)Select the symbol you want to use in your formula from the Elements Dock. The symbols

that are available change according to the selected category.

Figure 5: Elements Dock

NOTE The Elements Dock can either be a floating dialog, as shown in Figure 5, or positioned to the left of the Formula Editor, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Context menu

The Formula Editor also provides a context menu to access categories and symbols when creating your formula. Right-click in the Formula Editor to open the context menu. Select a category and then select the markup example that you want to use from the sub-context menu, an example is shown in Figure 6. NOTE The Elements dialog, Elements Dock, or context menu only contain the most common commands that are used in formulas. For some seldom-used commands, you must always enter the command using the markup language. For a complete list of commands, see Appendix A Commands Reference.

20 | Math Guide Version 4.4

Figure 6: Context menu in Formula Editor

Markup language

Markup language is entered directly into the Formula Editor. For example, typing the markup language 5 times 4 into the Formula Editor creates the simple formula 5×4. If you are experienced in using markup language, it can be the quickest way to enter a formula. Table 2 shows some examples of using markup language to enter commands. For a full list of commands that can be used in the Formula Editor, see Appendix A Commands Reference.

Table 2: Example commands using markup language

Greek characters

Using markup language

Greek characters are commonly used in formulas, but Greek characters cannot be entered into a formula using the Elements dialog, Elements Dock, or the context menu. Use the English names of Greek characters in markup language when entering Greek characters into a formula. See Appendix A commands Reference for a list of Greek characters that can be entered using markup language. •For a lowercase Greek character, type a percentage % sign, then type the character name in lowercase using the English name. For example, typing %lambda creates the Greek character λ. •For an UPPERCASE Greek character, type a percentage % sign, then type the character name in UPPERCASE using the English name. For example, typing %LAMBDA creates the

Greek character Λ.

Chapter 1 Creating & Editing Formulas | 21

•For an italic Greek character, type a percentage % sign followed by the i character, then the English name of the Greek character in lower or UPPER case. For example, typing %iTHETA creates the italic Greek character Θ.

Symbols dialog

Greek characters can also be entered into a formula using the Symbols dialog.

1)Make sure your cursor is in the correct position in the Formula Editor.

2)Go to Tools > Catalog on the main menu bar or click on the Catalog icon in the Tools

toolbar to open the Symbols dialog (Figure 7)

3)Select Greek from the Symbol set drop-down list. For italic characters, select iGreek from

the drop-down list.

4)Select the Greek character from the symbol list, then click Insert. When selected, the name

of a Greek character is shown below the symbol list.

5)Click Close when you have finished entering Greek characters into your formula.

Figure 7: Symbols dialog

Formula examples

Example 1

The simple formula 5×4 can be created using LibreOffice Math as follows:

1)Make sure your cursor is flashing in the Formula Editor, then select the category

Unary/Binary Operators and symbol Multiplication using one of the following methods: -In the Elements dialog, select the Unary/Binary Operators icon and then select the Multiplication icon . -In the Elements Dock, select Unary/Binary Operators from the drop-down list and then select the Multiplication icon . -Right-click in the Formula Editor and select Unary/Binary Operators > a times b from the context menu. -Using markup language, enter 5 times 4 in the Formula Editor. -The first three methods place the formula text times in the Formula Editor and the symbol appears in the document. -Using markup language in the Formula Editor places the formula 5×4 directly into your document and there is no need to carry out the following steps.
