|| In this tutorial, we will learn about:
* '''LibreOffice Math'''
* System requirements and Prerequisites for using '''Math.'''

|-
|| '''Slide: '''

'''Learning Objectives'''
|| We will also learn to:
* Use '''Formula Editor '''to write the formulae.
* Use the '''markup''' language to write a simple formula and

|-
|| Narration only
|| Let us learn how to open the '''LibreOffice''' '''Math'''.
|-
|| Click on '''Show Applications''' >> search bar type ‘'''Math’ ''' >> Click on '''LibreOffice''' '''Math '''icon.
|| In '''Ubuntu''' '''Linux''' '''OS''', click the '''Show Applications''' icon at the bottom left corner.

In the '''search''' '''bar '''that appears''' '''type '''Math'''.

From the displayed list, click on the '''Libreoffice Math''' icon.
|-
|| Click on '''Start menu '''>> search bar type '''Math''' >> Click on '''LibreOffice Math''' icon
|| In '''Windows OS''', click on the '''Start Menu''' icon located at the bottom left corner.

In the '''search bar '''next to it type '''Math'''.

From the displayed list, click on the '''LibreOffice Math''' icon.
|-
|| Point to the open window
|| '''Math '''document opens up with '''Untitled 1''' document.

|-
|| Click on '''Show Applications'''>>search bar type ‘'''Writer’ ''' >> Click on '''LibreOffice''' '''Writer '''icon.
|| Now, let us learn to call '''Math '''from the '''Writer document'''.

I have opened the '''LibreOffice Writer''' document.
|-
|| Click on the '''Insert menu.'''

Navigate to '''Object'''.

Select Formula from the submenu.

Point to the '''Math''' interface.
|| Click on the '''Insert menu''' on the '''menu''' '''bar'''.

Navigate to '''Object.'''

From the submenu select the '''Formula''' option.

'''Math''' interface opens.
|-
|| Click outside the gray box.

Double click on the gray box visible in the '''Writer''' window.
|| In the '''preview''' area, if we click outside the gray box, the '''Math''' window disappears.

To make it visible again, double click on the gray box in the '''Writer''' window.
|-
|| Click on close (x)

In the''' Save Document? '''dialog box click on the '''Don't Save''' button.
|| Let us close the '''Writer''' document without saving.

In the '''Save Document?''' dialog box click on the '''Don't Save''' button.
|-
|| Cursor in the''' Math''' interface.
|| Let us now first familiarize ourselves with the '''LibreOffice''' '''Math '''window.
|-
|| Point to the three areas in the '''window'''.
|| In the '''Math''' window we can see three areas.
|-
|| Point to the first area on the top of the window.
|| The first is the '''preview''' area on the top.

The '''preview''' area, displays the equations and formulae in the mathematical form.
|-
|| Go to the bottom of the window >> point to the second area.
|| The second is the '''Formula Editor''' area at the bottom.

Here we type the mathematical formulae in a special '''markup language'''.
|-
|| Go to the right of the window >> point to the third area.

Click on the '''View menu''' >> '''Elements.'''
|| Third is the '''Elements''' dock on the left.

This '''dock''' provides us with a range of mathematical symbols and expressions.

If you don’t see the '''Elements''' dock, click on '''View '''and then choose '''Elements'''.
|-
|| Go to the top of the '''Elements''' window >> Point to drop-down named '''Category Selector.'''

Click on the drop-down >> Point to the other category option.

Point to the selected category in drop-down >> point to '''symbols''' below the drop-down.
|| On the top of the '''Elements''' window, there is a drop-down named '''Element categories.'''

This drop down shows a list of mathematical symbols and operators.

As per the selected category, '''Elements''' '''dock''' displays the symbols and operators.
|-
|| Point to drop-down >> '''Unary or Binary Operators'''.

Point to the drop down.

Point to the respective '''symbols'''.
|| By default '''Unary or Binary Operators''' option is selected in the '''Element categories'''.

Below the drop-down, we see basic''' '''mathematical operators.

These include '''Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division''' and others.
|-
|| Cursor in the interface.
|| Let’s now write a simple multiplication formula.

|-
|| Click on the symbol ‘❒ '''x '''❒’

Go to the '''Formula''' '''editor '''window-> Point to two '''‘<?>’ '''and then '''‘times’ '''.

Go to the''' Writer '''gray box area -> Point to two squares and then '''‘X’'''.
|| Let us click on the symbol '''squarebox into squarebox''' denoting '''multiplication'''.

The '''Formula editor '''window''',''' shows''' '''two''' placeholders''' separated by the word '''times'''.

The''' preview''' area, diaplays two squares separated by the multiplication''' '''sign.
|-
|| Go to '''Formula editor '''window >> double click on first '''‘<?>'''’ >> type 4.

Double click on second '''‘<?>’ ''' >> type 3.

Point to the preview area.

4X3
|| In the '''Formula editor, '''first '''placeholder '''is selected.

Type 4 in this''' placeholder'''.

Then double click on the second '''placeholder '''and type '''3'''.

The '''preview''' area shows''' 4 times 3.'''
|-
|| Point to the formula.
|| Next let us complete the formula by adding = 12 to it.
|-
|| Go to the '''Element '''window >> click on the drop-down -> select '''Relations.'''

Point to '''symbols''' below drop-down.
|| In the '''Elements''' dock, click the''' Element categories''', drop-down and select '''Relations.'''

Below the drop-down, notice the various '''relation elements'''.
|-
|| Click on the symbol ‘❒''' = '''❒’

|| Click the first symbol '''squarebox equal squarebox''' denoting '''Is Equal'''.
|-
|| Go to the '''Formula''' '''editor window ''' >> delete first '''‘<?>’ ''' >> double click on second''' ‘<?>’ ''' >> type 12.

Point to the formula.

|| In the '''Formula editor '''window''', '''delete the first '''placeholder.'''

In the second placeholder, type 12.

In the '''preview '''area we can see the formula.

‘4 times 3 equals 12’.
|-
|| Cursor in the interface.
|| Now, let’s learn how to write a formula in different ways.
|-
|| Point to the symbols in the Elements dock.
|| We already know how to use the symbols in the '''Elements dock'''.
|-
|| Cursor in the Formula editor.
|| The second method is to use the context menu in the '''Formula Editor '''window.
|-
|| Right click on the '''Formula editor '''window''' ''' >> Point to the '''categories''' in the '''context menu'''

Go to one the '''category''' >> Point to available '''symbols'''

Show the categories.
|| Right click in the '''Formula editor''' to see the context menu.

The '''context menu '''displays the same categories of symbols as in the''' Elements '''dock.

You can choose any '''category '''to see the available '''symbols''' under the category.
|-
|| Only narration
|| Third method is to directly write the formulae in the''' Formula Editor window.'''

We will use''' markup language '''that '''Math''' understands.
|-
|| Only narration

Point towards the word '''‘times’'''

|| We already saw one simple example of '''markup language'''.

|-
|| Point to the formula editor.

Select the formula and press the '''Delete key''' on the''' Keyboard'''

Point to the '''preview''' area.
|| Let us delete the formula from the '''formula editor'''.

Select the formula and press the '''Delete key '''on the '''Keyboard'''.

Notice that the formula is deleted from the '''preview''' area also.
|-
|| Type ‘4 over 4 equals 1’
|| Now let’s write the markup language for 4 divided by 4 equals 1,

In the''' Formula editor''' type ‘4 over 4 equals 1’.
|-
|| Point to ‘4 over 4 equals 1’.
|| We will learn more about the markup language in the upcoming tutorials.
|-
|| Click on '''File''' and Select '''Save'''.

Point to the dialog box.

Type file name as '''firstmath'''
|| Let us now save the file.

Click on '''File '''and select '''Save'''.

'''Save '''dialog box appears.

I will save the file in my '''Documents '''folder.

Type the filename as '''firstmath''' and click on '''Save''' button.

File is saved with the '''.odf''' extension.
