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.

Using remember picture with pgfplots Seems to be a pgfplots bug that's been resolved. I reproduced the issue in pgfplots 1.6; when I updated to the TeXLive version (1.7) it went away. |

How can I generate some Latex output (equation) to be imported in MS Word? There is a Mac utility called LaTeXit that comes with the MacTeX distribution. |

Itemize inside longtable To the question: couldn't multiple rows work just as easily? |

Itemize inside longtable @MarioS.E.: Most of us can't debug code by eyes alone. We have to copy and paste into a document, see what happens, poke it, see what happens, curse it, see what happens, etc. ... With an MWE we can get more quickly to the poking-and-cursing stage. Without it we have to manually type repetitive things like \documentclass...\begin{document}... and so on. Also we have to guess what packages are being loaded (especially annoying with multi-library packages like tikz and pgfplots), and it's a barrier to actually solving the problem. So MWE is always good if you want easy help. :-) |

pgf plot, polar plot: how do i ensure that the 0 degree label begins in the north and not in the east? Label placement is very customizable. Take a look at Section 4.14 of the pgfplots manual. |

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. |

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/… |

How to simply center equations using eqnarray*? @Mohammad: The double-backslash ` \\ ` takes an optional argument which is the amount of extra space to skip. |
