Okay, firstly, sorry for not having posted in the last month or so. I'm just sending this apology into the vast expenses of the world wide web as i don't really know who follows my blog and who doesn't. Y'all need to comment more and give me feedback! And I promised myself last summer that the only articles on this blog will be ones on science or at the very least related to the pursuit science and technology. And lately, I have been a bit involved with my course work and the like. So, I was looking for the right topic to blog on. And whatdoyaknow, I stopped looking for the right topic and started making a topic the right one! So, here is something interesting I learnt a couple of weeks back. As part of a course on Radiative Processes in Astrophysics here at IIT Madras, I was studying the behavior of particles in uniform Electric and Magnetic fields. Something most of us studied during our 12th and maybe in a bit more detail in college, if you pursued science i.e. An...

Using MathJax to write equations on blogs

So i just installed mathjax and i want to check it out and see if it works $ x^n + x_n = 5 $ and $$ a*b*c = x^a + y^b $$ And it works!  So, MathJax is a java script which can be used to write beautiful equations using TeX on websites. Read this blog post    for the installation process. Apparently there are two ways of going about it.  One is to install MathJax on the server where your website is hosted.  The other, especially in the case of blogs, is to add a certain script to the html template of the blog.  The setup instructions for a blogger site have been mentioned and i'm sure the parallels on WordPress and Tumblr can be figured out without much trouble.  Using this in the coming blogposts should be fun :D
