4.6.4 Creating Mathematical Formulas with Math
It is usually dicult to include complex mathematical formulas in your documents.
The LibreOce Math equation editor lets you create formulas using operators,
functions, and formatting assistants. You can then save those formulas as objects

other LibreOce documents like any other graphic object.
Using Math, you can enter your equation in three dierent ways:
• Type markup in the equation editor,
• Right-click on the equation editor and select the symbol from the context menu,
