Re: [MiKTeX] Functions in Latex

[John M. <jom...@zi...>]

Hi Alan,

Same here.  I find Scientific word very easy to use, but limited.  If
your document is not too sophisticated, it is quite good.  I've also
used it to start writing documents I later finished in LaTeX.

I found it very good for writing descriptions of straightforward
functions.  I could write an expression and then graph it very easily.
