Hi! I hope you can hear me out. I suggest for a more math-friendly platform for education/mathematics writers like me. I've been having a hard time showing various mathematical equations with HubPages.
I second that. It's low down on the list of priorities though I reckon. However you can use a LaTeX editor to input an equation and generate an image which you can use in your articles. Another alternative is to use the equation editor in Word or other word processing software. Also useful would be a calculator module with text input panels. Something rudimentary would be fine with support for 3 or 4 independent and one dependent variable. This would be very helpful in DIY, crafting, sport, STEM and other articles for quantity calculations, unit conversion etc. Readers that land on my articles often search for "calculator" but all I can provide is a conversion table so they can work out things themselves.
Could you elaborate on what you would like to see on the calculator module? Would it not have to be customized for each article?
The final result as viewed by a reader would be different depending on the calculator, but maybe some form of general template could be used and in design mode when we are editing the module, panels could be shown/hidden depending on whether variables are used/not used. As a first example I'm thinking of my concrete mixing article. A calculator would be useful for working out the quantities of materials needed to make a certain volume of concrete (but it could also apply to e.g. a cooking recipe). So in this scenario say we input a volume in cubic metres/cubic feet or whatever into an input panel then there would be three output panels which show the number of buckets of cement, sand and stone required. In this example, 1 input generates 3 outputs. In design mode we would specify the formula for each of those outputs and during runtime, the code would interpret and parse those equations to output the result. A second example could be where there are several inputs and a single output. For example in a craft article we could have a formula for working out the area of material required for a complex shape that has maybe curved and rectangular sections. Say two radii, and two lengths. In this case the 4 inputs map to 1 output, the area. So I'm thinking we could have a general template e.g. 6 inputs, 6 outputs and equations that map used inputs to used outputs, inputs and outputs being hidden as necessary?
How can i incorporate Latex into my articles here on HubPages? Any advice?
You can't. You need to use an editor to compose an equation and then output it as a JPG, PNG or GIF image, size it and then load it into a photo module in HubPages. If the editor just outputs a cropped image with the equation alone, you may need to increase the canvas size using your favourite image processing program. So you'll need to add more white space around the equation, otherwise a photo module will just expand it to the width of the text in the article.
This is a quick composition using the editor on the codecogs.com site. The user interface isn't great there, but I'm sure there are more user friendly sites.
To add to this discussion, I never bothered writing Physics articles due to the absence of LaTeX integration or a sort of equation function.

HubPages already provides a "code" section or snippet to add code in our articles. However, there are hundreds of articles that can be classified or categorized as Science and are in desperate need of a way to typeset equations. Articles related to Mathematics require this feature as...

I have a word document full of math symbols via equation editor. The equations will not load?When I dump the doc into Hub Page Text capsule, only the accompanying text appears. The math equations vaporize.

This doesn't make sense. My article "Gardening for Beginners: 10 Easy Steps to Sowing Seeds which currently ranks in fourth place (despite all the deranking) for "How to Sow Seeds" has had its title changed to "How to Sow Seeds( Plus A Definition)". I'll change it back when...

So apparently an editor decided to go berserk on seven of my Hubs today, but I did not receive a single email notifying me of the many changes they made. The only way I noticed was by looking at my account and seeing the little red notices next to each Hub. Why no notification?The editor also...
