Just a tip for formatting, if you use \left( and ight) rather than just ( and ), the parentheses will scale up to larger insides. This is great for when you have fractions inside parentheses as you have here with the sin(n pi x/a). This works for the square bracket as well, and I believe the pipe/absolute value bar.
Yep, LaTeX has been a good portion of my life over the past couple months! Fortunately, I'm almost finished and preparing for my defense in a couple weeks. It's been an interesting journey. Good luck to you on yours, Andrew!
Oh how coincidental that you uploaded a video about LaTeX today! My friend is also writing his thesis with it and led me to using it myself only recently. It really makes documents look way more aesthetic and gives it a scientific touch. Unfortunately in my school I barely have any opportunity to use it but I hope that will come when I study. Anyway, thank you for showing us the way you do it, seems more practicle than my strategy😅👌
I remember the first time I used LaTex...I hate that day so much. Now I can't used any other program to do my homework. Hello from México (also... I am student of second year in physics).
Its awesome how you have time do daily youtube videos and have time for studying and doing assignments as a physics major. Who knows, maybe you grow you channel to the point were you can make a living on it and start making educational science videos.
I would recommend that people avoid the {physics} package. Sure, it helps cut down on the number of \lefts and ights, but it also changes the behavior of so much, and sometimes the modifications fail in silent ways. For example, if you write \sin(\frac{a}{b}), the parenthesis will be automatically auto-sized. Write \sin^2(\frac{a}{b}), however, and they won't. Sometimes it's also incompatible with other packages, which can be a pain in the ass to deal with. I too dislike that latex doesn't auto-size delimiters by default, but the {physics} package, unfortunately, is a hack, not a solution. The auto-sizing often doesn't give the best results anyway, and you need to tweak things manually.
Now that's _another_ nonstandard behavior, which is not even applied consistently. For example, superscripts on determinants show up a lot in particle physics, but the package is not set up to handle them. Redefining a bunch of default functions is seldom a good idea, and it's almost guaranteed to come bite you in the ass later. Nice goodies, but it is a hack.
I have OCD when it comes to LaTeX, not using \left( ight) for fractions, using italicised d for differentials, not using LaTeX fonts, equations in plots, using sin instead of \sin, vertical lines in tables and much more, I want my thesis to look professional, so I'm irritated when people don't follow the standard rules of LaTeX
Damn that april fools joke at the end was pretty good.. he faked feeling guilt for not being able to upload and then made a joke about it, this guy’s based af.
Senior thesis??? Isn't that the same as Bachelorarbeit in Germany? I only study physics for teachers, but my topic sounds much easier (although it is still enough work to do it all properly , write down the code etc.)...
There are so so so so many reasons. Just for some, -Insert math thing or whatever on word is bad, google docs is the same -things scale absolutly compared to word, for instance, if you update figues or table of contents. -BibTeX -Its typeset, so if you send the file to someone else, the formatting will be the same, unlike how docx can be wierd. In other words, you could compare it to a pdf or an image, in the terms of how they will stay the same -its faster in relativity. -docs make you look smarter....:) You could also just google search a reddit post about your question instead. For things like making notes or making simple things like a high school essay for an english class, etc, latex will be like using a nuke to kill an ant or just slower if you just taking simple notes. But for things such as a research paper with for instance references. LaTeX helps SO much with the formatting.

Came down to comment the exact same thing. Lotta gove methatesis

Likewise!
You probably should have used \left( and
ight) for the brackets on sine, but you already know that

Can you do a video on hypoallergenic thesis software I have a latex allergy
Paul Board get out
as long as there's not elastic scattering I'll be fine (elastic is made of rubber, a continuation of my masterful pun involving a latex allergy)

April Fool hahaha! You are the best dude, happy Easter! Btw really appreciate the vid on LaTex, very useful :)
Thanks a lot!

Don't forget \left( and
ight) so that the brackets are resized appropriately :)
Or do \usepackage{physics} and just \qty()

That's why you would write \sin[2](\frac{a}{b}) and boom the paranthesis are resized again :)

This reminds me of Simon Clark’s channel
Is LateX recommended for undergrads ?
Can you kindly make a tutorial video on LateX?
also, do you still use texstudio, or overleaf now?
Damn, you got me
TeXStudio brothers unite!
Thank you Sir..
what software it is ? :)
use Texmaker
I do two dollar signs and then enter another two dollar signs and that acts as a begin equation
Hello, my smart people!
What university do you attend?
Joe B. He goes to Old Dominio University
nice Latesh bruh
If you are a Hastings School student, like this

Why not ms words... The question I've been asking since the day they started teaching us latex😅😖😁.
Hi
Why not use Microsoft Word?
There are so so so so many reasons. Just for some,
-Insert math thing or whatever on word is bad, google docs is the same
-things scale absolutly compared to word, for instance, if you update figues or table of contents.
-BibTeX
-Its typeset, so if you send the file to someone else, the formatting will be the same, unlike how docx can be wierd. In other words, you could compare it to a pdf or an image, in the terms of how they will stay the same
-its faster in relativity.
-docs make you look smarter....:)
You could also just google search a reddit post about your question instead.

What? A physics student that uses Windows??? :p
Advice- don't do what you did between 0.00 to 0.06
BURNNNNN!!!!
First
i am starting with latex just just
