I am a plasma physicist employed at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and I teach at Princeton University in the Program in Plasma Physics. I am interested in numerical methods, computational science, plasma physics, and lots of other things...

Tests of equation formatting.

On other wiki servers, I've had problems with the "not equal" symbol being rendered as "equal". But when I test it here on wikipedia, equations are properly formatted with either the Mathjax renderer or PNG renderer (set in Special:Preferences, in the Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers. For example, <math> 1 \neq 0 </math> is properly rendered as:

${\displaystyle 1\neq 0}$

Test of line breaking for long equations: Some wiki servers or browsers don't break lines around a long equation properly, for example ${\displaystyle 1/(1+exp(-i\pi ))=\infty +\exp(-1/\epsilon )}$. Instead they will let the equation run off the end of the page. But this equation works fine on wikipedia when viewed from the Firefox, Chrome, or Safari browsers, with either the PNG or Mathjax renderer.

Do the Wikipedia math formatters properly distinguish between a standard text v, a math italic ${\displaystyle v}$, and a Greek nu, ${\displaystyle \nu }$? The answer is yes thankfully.

Below are examples of working with equations and equation numbering. This is to test out my /Eq template to handle adding equation numbers or labels.

Try the /Eq template to display this fascinating equation, which uses 5 of the most important numbers in mathematics:

(Eq. 3.1)

${\displaystyle e^{i\pi }+1=0}$

You don't have to use a numeric equation label:

(Euler's Eq.)

${\displaystyle e^{i\pi }+1=0}$

Can we skip to Eq. 2.1.1?

${\displaystyle e^{i\pi }+1=0}$

Eq. 2.0 Euler

is a fascinating equation.

Can we go back to Eq. 3.1?

Interesting wiki entries include an entry on MUSCL schemes. Can we go to Eq. 2.0? Can use the \Eq template:

(2.1.0)

${\displaystyle {dF(t,T) \over F(t,T)}=\sigma (t,T)dz(t)}$

or explicitly format an equation:

(2.1.1)

${\displaystyle {dF(t,T) \over F(t,T)}=\sigma (t,T)dz(t)}$
