Time Narration
00:00 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Math.
00:04 In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
00:07 Write Set operations
00:10 Write Factorials and
00:12 Cross reference equations by numbering.
00:16 For this, let us first open our example 'Writer' document that we created in our previous tutorials "MathExample1.odt".
00:29 Here, let us go to the end of the document and press Control, Enter to go to a new page.
00:37 And type “Set Operations: ” and press Enter twice.
00:42 Now, let us call Math.
00:45 Before we go ahead, let us increase the Font-size to 18 point.
00:51 Change the Alignment to the Left.
00:54 Let us now learn how to write Set operations.
01:00 Math has separate mark up to represent Sets which are collections of distinct elements.
01:07 Let us write four (4) example sets, in the Formula Editor window, as shown on the screen:
01:14 Set A with 5 elements,
01:18 Set B,Set C,
01:21 and Set D with elements each.
01:26 Notice that to write the brackets for sets, we can use the mark up: lbrace and rbrace.
01:35 Now, we can write set operations such as unions and intersections.
01:42 First, let us write a union operation.
01:46 The mark-up for B union C is the same as we read it;
01:51 and the resulting set is 1, 2, 6, 4 and 5 which includes all the distinct elements in both sets.
02:04 The markup for an intersection operation is again the same as we read it.
02:10 The intersection includes only the common elements from both the sets.
02:16 So, the result of B intersection D is 6.
02:23 And we can also write: set C is a subset of set A, as every element in 'C' is in set A.
02:35 The mark up for this is C subset A.
02:42 You can learn to write more set operations by exploring the Elements window, by clicking on the third icon there.
02:51 Go to View > Elements > Set Operations.
02:59 Let us save our work now.
03:02 Click on File > Save.
03:06 Now, let us write Factorial functions.
03:11 We will designate numbers 1 to 3 for the three formulae we are going to write shortly.
03:19 These will help to cross reference them anywhere within the Writer document.
03:25 Let us go to a new page by clicking three times slowly, outside the Writer gray box.
03:33 Press Control, Enter.
03:36 Type: “Factorial Function: ” and press Enter twice.
03:42 Now, we know how to call Math.
03:45 But, there is another way to bring up the Math object into the Writer.
03:51 For this, simply write ‘f n’ on the Writer document and press F3.
03:59 We are now seeing a new Math object that says E is equal to m c squared
04:07 and along with that the number one (1), within parentheses, on the right.
04:14 Meaning- we can cross reference this formula with the number 1, anywhere in this document.
04:22 We will learn the details of how to do this later.
04:27 For now, let us double-click on the Math object.
04:32 And do the formatting. Font size 18 and 'Left' Alignment.
04:40 Okay, let us now write an example for Factorial.
04:44 The mark up ‘fact’ represents the factorial symbol.
04:50 So, let us overwrite the existing formula with ours:
04:55 5 Factorial = 5 into 4 into 3 into 2 into 1 = 120.
05:07 Notice the mark up here.
05:09 Let us write our next formula in a new Math object here.
05:14 For this, let us first click outside this Writer gray box three times slowly.
05:23 Press the down-arrow key two or three times to go to the end of this page.
05:30 And type ‘f n’ and press F3 to bring up the second Math object.
05:37 Again, we will repeat the formatting
05:46 and overwrite the existing formula with the factorial definition:
05:52 n factorial is equal to prod from k = 1 to n of k.
06:01 Notice the mark-up ‘prod’ which denotes product, similar to sigma for summation.
06:10 Now, let us introduce a third Math object just like the first two
06:20 and rewrite the factorial definition as two conditional formulae, as shown on the screen.
06:30 Notice the mark up ‘binom’ which displays a vertical stack of two elements and helps with better alignment.
06:42 Let us now see how we can cross reference these formulae.
06:47 For this, let us go to a new page
06:51 and type: "An example of factorial is provided here:"
06:59 Now, let us click on the Insert menu and on Cross reference.
07:06 In the new pop-up, let us select Text in the Type list.
07:12 Then choose the first item in the Selection list denoting the first factorial formula we wrote.
07:21 Now choose Reference in the ‘Insert reference to’ list and click on Insert once and close.
07:31 So, the number one (1) in parentheses has appeared next to our text. And we are done.
07:39 Let us test it by simply clicking on this number
07:43 and notice that the cursor has jumped to the location where we wrote the first formula.
07:51 So, this is how we can cross reference Math formulae anywhere within the Writer document.
07:58 Let us save our work.
08:01 Here are some reference links for Math:
08:06 Download Guide at 'libreoffice.org documentation' link.
08:14 You can also visit the following website for more information on Math.
08:20 And finally, here is an assignment for you. Use the Writer document.
08:25 Using the example Sets in this tutorial: check if A union ( B union C) is equal to (A union B) union C.
08:40 Write the results of A minus B
08:43 and cross reference the second and third factorial formulae in the Writer document.
08:51 This brings us to the end of this tutorial on Sets, Factorials and Cross Referencing in LibreOffice Math.
08:59 To summarize, we learned how to:
09:03 Write Set operations
09:05 Write Factorials and
09:08 Cross reference equations by numbering.
09:11 Spoken Tutorial project is a part of the Talk to a Teacher project, supported by the National Mission on Education through ICT, MHRD, Government of India.
09:23 This project is coordinated by http://spoken-tutorial.org.
09:27 More information on the same is available at the following link.
