Math professor by day, hacker by night.

I teach calculus and try to implement teaching and new media technologies. I use a lot of LaTeX and the occasional scripting language.

So glad I found this site—now I can unsubscribe to some of those mailing lists I should be paying attention to but never have the time when the mails come.

May 16	comment	pgf plot, polar plot: how do i ensure that the 0 degree label begins in the north and not in the east? Thanks, but instead of making it a comment, just edit your question. Have a look at the about page and our welcome page for new users.
May 16	comment	pgf plot, polar plot: how do i ensure that the 0 degree label begins in the north and not in the east? Can you please expand your code snippet to a minimal working example (MWE)? It should start with `\documentclass` and end with `\end{document}`.
May 16	comment	point-and-click open source javascript equation editor for latex? I'm not sure this question is on topic for the site, since our focus is on using the TeX family of applications, not the broader topic of applications that use TeX-like syntax. However, if all you want to do is enter LaTeX math code and have it rendered, the MathJax site has a demo page.
May 16	comment	I can't get LaTeX to recognize the Venndiagram package even though TeX Live says the package is installed (Global) StackExchange policy. I think it's to encourage other answers. See meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/5234/…
May 15	comment	I can't get LaTeX to recognize the Venndiagram package even though TeX Live says the package is installed Glad to hear it. Sorry I wasn't around to help you through the process. I was AFK.
May 15	comment	*How to simply center equations using eqnarray?** From the TOC: (1) Spacing inconsistency (2) Eqnarray might overwrite equation numbers (3) labels can get mixed up.
May 15	comment	*How to simply center equations using eqnarray?** Avoid `eqnarray`!
May 15	comment	*How to simply center equations using eqnarray?** @Mohammad: The double-backslash ` \\ ` takes an optional argument which is the amount of extra space to skip.
May 15	comment	I can't get LaTeX to recognize the Venndiagram package even though TeX Live says the package is installed @texenthusiast Alan is saying OP should follow (A) my advice then (B) your advice.
May 15	comment	I can't get LaTeX to recognize the Venndiagram package even though TeX Live says the package is installed You should install MacTeX; it has a full TeX-Live distribution plus GUI applications for editing etc. One-stop shopping. Also, `~` -> your HOME directory i.e., `/Users/Obitus`
May 15	comment	Constructing dag-like diagrams That makes sense. But you're planning a package that others will use, so at some point you need a better name. `:-)`
May 15	comment	Constructing dag-like diagrams Also, does everybody call these things Wickerson diagrams or just you? In my field one treads lightly when considering autoeponymity.
May 15	comment	Constructing dag-like diagrams Since your interface is largely keyval and your implementation is TikZ, have you considered using pgfkeys for maintaining state?
May 15	comment	Detecting the mode of the exercise package Glad it helps. I'm voting to close the question as Too Localized since it's not likely to come up again.
May 15	comment	Detecting the mode of the exercise package Does changing `\@ifpackagewith{excercise}{noanswer}` to `\@ifpackagewith{exercise}{noanswer}` help?
May 15	revised	Detecting the mode of the exercise package correct tag name spelling
May 14	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on How to add multi-authors with different affiliations in Beamer using LyX?
May 14	comment	Stupid error caused by doing stupid things Much as I like your question I feel the title would be better if it described the symptom rather than the cause.
