To Enter This:	Type This:	Practice Here:
	x ^ 2 [Esc] + 2 x - 6 (Esc jumps out of the exponent).
	\ x - 5 [Esc] + 2 (Backslash makes a square root).
	/ x + 2 [Tab] x - 3 (It's easiest to first create fraction before typing numerator & denominator).
	log _ 7 [Esc] ( x - 2 The under-bar _ creates a subscript.
	\| 2 x - 3 [Esc] - 5

One of the most interesting things you can do with LiveMath is to modify the equations in a notebook and view the results. To change a number just click or select over it and type in a new number. You can double click to select the whole number.

In the commands below, you can replace u by any number or expression, so instead of adding u, for example, you could add 5 or add x + 6.

To add the variable u:	Select what you want to add it to and type `+` u
To negate an expression:	Select what you want to negate and type `-`
To subtract variable u:	Select what you want to subtract it from & type `+ -`u
To multiply by the variable u:	Select what you want to multiply it to and type `*` u
To divide something by the variable u:	Select what you want to divide and type `/` u
To raise to a power:	Select the base, press ^, type the exponent, & press the [Esc] button on your keyboard to jump out of the exponent.
To delete an expression:	Select what you want to delete and press your delete or backspace key. If you get a question mark ?, press the delete key again
To type in the function sin(u)	Just type in `sin(`u`)` The functions available to you are restricted to those the notebook author declared.
To type in the constants like pi or e	Just type in `e` for e; type in `'p` for pi ; type in `'N` for infinity.

If your notebook becomes hard to read, just click on the Reload button and your notebook will be restored to its original form.

By clicking on different parts of a graph, you can rotate the graph to see it at different angles. Below are examples of a 2D graph and a 3D graph. Point your mouse in the middle of either graph and click and drag your mouse sideways and up and down for different views.
