LaTex is awsome!

Finally I have learned how to use LaTeXiT to form mathematical equations & most of all to ALIGN multi-line equations to the equal mark (that's something that looks easy but damn complex to practice!) It's so simple that even the menu and the intro book I have found don't give a shit of how-to. After several hours of trying...trying... eventually I find out just put two "&" tab alignment sign at both end of the "=", then suddenly all things sort it in a flash!
M &=& [\int^5_0 {c_{(x)}}\cdot {dx}]\times 24m^2\\
&=& [\int^5_0 {\frac {2}{1+6\cdot{x}}}\cdot {dx}]\times 24m^2\\
&=& \frac {1}{6} [\int^5_0 {\frac {2}{1+6x}}\cdot {d(1+6x)}]\times 24m^2\\
&=& \frac{1}{3}\ln[31]kg/m^2\times 24m^2\\
&=& 8\ln{31}kg\\
&=& 27.47kg
Look! It comes out perfect!











Some useful imformation about
LaTeX

LaTeX is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program. Within the typesetting system, its name is styled as \mathrm{L\!\!^{{}_{\scriptstyle A}} \!\!\!\!\!\;\; T\!_{\displaystyle E} \! X}.

It is widely used by mathematicians, scientists, philosophers, engineers, scholars in academia and the commercial world, and other professionals. As a primary or intermediate format (e.g. translating DocBook and other XML-based formats to PDF) LaTeX is used because of the quality of typesetting achievable by TeX. The typesetting system offers programmable desktop publishing features and extensive facilities for automating most aspects of typesetting and desktop publishing, including numbering and cross-referencing, tables and figures, page layout and bibliographies.

LaTeX is intended to provide a high-level language that accesses the power of TeX. LaTeX essentially comprises a collection of TeX macros and a program to process LaTeX documents. Because the TeX formatting commands are very low-level, it is usually much simpler for end-users to use LaTeX.

LaTeX was originally written in the early 1980s by Leslie Lamport at SRI International [1]. It has become the dominant method for using TeX—few people write in plain TeX anymore. The current version is LaTeX2e (styled \mathrm{L\!\!^{{}_{\scriptstyle A}} \!\!\!\!\!\;\; T\!_{\displaystyle E} \! X} \, 2_{\displaystyle \varepsilon}).

LaTeX, like TeX, is free software
