A Jupyter TeX CheatSheet
TeX
TeX is a typesetting format geared towards creating mathematical and related renderings of any complexity using standard keyboard characters. As a very simple example the following:
3x+1\over2
renders as:
In this article I will show some examples in a Jupyter notebook which has built-in TeX support. However, TeX support is widespread and it can be used unchanged by many applications to produce publication-quality output.
The Jupyter Notebook
This project is intended for people who already know how to use the Jupyter interactive Python environment and consists of a single Jupyter notebook called TeXcheatsheet.ipynb which you can download from https://github.com/CodeDrome/tex_cheatsheet.
The notebook consists of a brief outline on using TeX within Jupyter, and a number of cells which demonstrate various commonly-used pieces of TeX notation. Please download the notebook, open it up and dive in. As I mention in the notebook itself you may want to keep it somewhere handy as a permanent reference, and add to it anything you learn and want to remember for future use.
The screenshots below show a typical cell before and after it has been run.

just so you know, I'm having a delicious Havanna alfajor, filled with loads of dulce de leche, made of crunchy almond flour biscuits and covered in dark chocolate, and I'm not sharing with you! All mine.
