### LaTex, here I come!

Most of my friends, who do not study natural sciences or engineering, get scared when I tell them that I like LaTex. They always assume that I speak about the material and hence the latex clothing rather then the best typesetting system I know. Today I found out that wordpress supports LaTex and therefore I had to test it by posting the governing mean equation for the turbulent far wake flow of a two-dimensional cylinder (I will not repeat the assumptions here :))

$U_{o}\frac{\partial U_{1}}{\partial x}=-\frac{\partial \langle u'v' \rangle }{\partial y}$

It was the only equation I had on my desktop so there are no harsh feelings against any other asymptotic solutions. If you want to test LaTex, just type in your code between

$latex here-put-in-your-code$ (no spaces between “\$” and “latex”) or check out the instructions.

It’s spelled Latech (German reading), that way it’s not as confusing (not that anybody would understand what you are talking about anyway 😉

Right, I forgot about that, but most of the time I am communicating via MSN or Email, so there is no pronunciation.
