Guidelines for writing equations on Cureus Journals platform
1. Preparation
Before you start writing equations, ensure you have a clear understanding of the mathematical concepts you wish to convey. Familiarize yourself with the LaTeX typesetting system, as it is commonly used for writing equations in academic journals.
2. Embedding LaTeX in Your Manuscript:
-
For inserting equations with equation number:
Include your LaTeX code directly where you want the equation to appear:
Syntax: $$ Latex Equation Code tag{Equation Number} $$
For Example: $$a_1^2 + b_1^2 = c_1^2 \tag{1}$$
Preview Mode:
-
For inserting inline equations:
Syntax: \( Latex Equation Code )
For Example:
The formula for the Pythagoras Theorem is: \(a_1^2 + b_1^2 = c_1^2\)
