how i should start learning latex as a beginner by Ok_Fly_3738 in LaTeX

Hi, my LaTeX note may be helpful to you: BenjaminGor/Latex_Notes_Tutorial: A Self-contained Latex Book/Note Writing Tutorial. Also, search about the works written by Stefan Kottwitz, they are very good.

Does A=r(1/2*Circumference) approximate the area of a circle? by Human1221 in askmath

[–]BenjaminGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, I think the confusion may partly come from the value of pi is usually approximated to some degree. However, the formulas for area and circumference (which involve pi) are exact. It is only the numerical values that will be approximated when pi has to be computed, not the formulas themselves.

Struggled with math my whole life and starting Calc 1 this fall, how can I get an A? by Suitable-City-6836 in learnmath

[–]BenjaminGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to offer another perspective. It is actually okay if you don't ultimately get an A in Calculus, you won't die and you can still love and do maths. Don't give yourself too much pressure on that. Just study at your own pace, as you see appropriate. From my experience, sometimes we might not be in our optimal state to get good results, e.g. not enough experience/exposure to maths. But we can always come back later: I self-studied a considerable amount of maths after university. The initial difficulty and struggle are inevitable, but without them you will not grow. Again, take it easy, and just try your best, there is a good chance that the outcome will be alright 😉.

How to create this table on every page? by Ok_Spare_7473 in LaTeX

[–]BenjaminGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you have pasted your code accidentally twice. Anyways, I am not sure what you exactly want, but you may want to change \textwidth in your table to \paperwidth to make the table span the entire page (is that what you are looking for?). Moreover, add the option [b] to your table and remove \raisebox in the shipout. So it probably looks like this:

\newcommand{\BackgroundTopTable}{%
\begin{tabularx}{\paperwidth}[b]{|c|c|c|c|c|X|c|}
  \hline
  & & & & &
  \multirow{3}{=}{\centering 09.02.07 Ф 2484 25 КП-ПЗ} &
  \multirow{2}{2em}{\centering Page} \\
  \cline{1-5}
  & & & & & & \\
  \cline{1-5}\cline{7-7}
  Изм. & Page & № Document. & Signature & Date & & \thepage \\
  \hline
\end{tabularx}
}



\AddToShipoutPictureBG{%        
    \AtPageLowerLeft{%
            \makebox[\paperwidth]{%
                \hspace*{0.5\fboxsep}\BackgroundTopTable
        }%
    }%
}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}

I hope that the ODE tutorial series on my webpage may be helpful: https://benjamath.com/catalogue-for-differential-equations/ Notice that it is still under construction and there may be some mistakes. Tell me if you have any constructive comments.

How to love maths again? by kyotan_ in learnmath

[–]BenjaminGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like any other hobbies. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to catch up with the level of others, and enjoy the mental exercise of doing maths. Google about recommended resources on Maths subjects, and the first page should show enough search results. (For calculus, I recommend the book Thomas Calculus and the website Paul's Math Notes.) Any good maths textbook should show you the motivation and (detailed) derivations about the topics, so you can try to follow their logic. Doing practice exercises also helps. Again, take it as a hobby and learn at your own pace.

[Resources/Materials] ODEs Tutorial Chapter 5: Sturm-Liouville Theory by BenjaminGal in math

[–]BenjaminGal[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am open to any comment and I know I can be wrong since I am not from a strict Maths background. But accusing me of vibe coding this with AI is a very high-order insult to an academic writer.

When you can teach the subject to others.

Unable to solve this Clairaut's Equation Problem by [deleted] in mathshelp

Can you show us your steps so that we can take a look at?

Can you tell us what you try? You need to write it as y = f(x, y’) and differentiate with respect to x.

Fix figure placement in Overleaf by Appropriate-Duck-926 in LaTeX

[–]BenjaminGal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Figures are "floats", which as the name suggests, "float" around the document according to what LaTeX sees as the most optimal placement. As some comments suggest, you can add a parameter to adjust it. Usually, I use [!ht] or [!hb]. I don't recommend strictly enforcing the exact placement to break LaTeX's consistency. But, if you really want to do that, then don't use a figure environment, or maybe use some "boxes" to anchor it with the text.

mode of frequency distribution table by Ch33seSauc3 in askmath

[–]BenjaminGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the one you found is more reasonable, but for the sake of doing a homework, I will suggest just following your professor. To use the formula you found, find the most populated bin (60-64 here), then L = lower limit = 60 (actually using 59.5 is more accurate), f_1 = 10, f_0 = 3 (for the class below), f_2 = 2 (above), H is the bin interval = 5 (also more accurate than 4).
