Writing Equations
In Ulysses, you can easily add equations to your sheets. To write mathematical equations, we use LaTeX. LaTeX is a document preparation system that uses markup tags, much in the same ways as Ulysses does.



Adding an Equation
Here is how to add an equation in Ulysses:
Type or select the
$$
tag.This will bring up an editor, where you can enter equations. For instance, you can enter simple equations like
V-E+F=2
just as you would enter regular text.
However, many equations require mathematical symbols or operations. This is where LaTeX comes in. Here are two examples:
If you need a fraction, you can use the LaTeX command
\frac
so that you can enterv = \frac{s}{t}
.If you need a great-than-or-equal symbol, you use
\geq
, like this:dS \geq 0
.
There are too many LaTeX commands to list here, but you can find a list of all supported commands on this website.

Inline and Block Equations
Please keep in mind that there are two different modes: inline and block equations. If you enter an equation in the same line as your regular text, Ulysses treats it as an inline equation. If you insert the equation in a separate paragraph, you get a block equation.
