Really want the integral/derivatives stuff... But seeing as that's not coming soon, can you at least provide a way to use the symbols as constants or somesuch? Maybe even add a typesetting mode that will forgo the actual calculation(s) and let me just write my own equation (with symbolics) would be great ;) That is until you get the full (solvable) symbolics working ;)

Anyhow, love the app, and paid up for the ability to export as latex, just wish it had more symbols.

I agree with drazed.

I would really like to be able to typeset differential equations without any calculations being performed.

It would also be nice to typeset the summation operator for my stats equations.

The concern I have is with confusing users. If I put in operations that don't do anything, even as symbols, people will try to use them and be upset that they don't perform the desired calculation. I don't have a good way of indicating that something is only useful for typesetting, not calculation.

If I can come up with a way that won't cause more problems than it solves, I'll gladly add this in.

Solution is in the thread title ;) Typesetting "Mode" meant not to do this by default, but enable somewhere in options/help/not-in-main-interface, you can even put up a big scary "THIS WILL BREAK STUFF" dialog when enabling if it makes you feel safer.

I'd like to add my vote for this feature too. Pi cubed seems like a really handy way for me to create a library of reference equations.

Pi cube typesetting for latex is useless without the ability to use symbols for sum or integrals. It would be nice to have sets and logic operators as well. I wish this come true. I'm disappointed that I paid 10 bucks and I can't typeset useful equations for my research paper.
