IF you are a Mathematician. What tools would you like ready installed in wiki for Maths use?

[TiddlyTweeter]

I got interested in making wiki that have installed already the tools you need to do your job.

I thought Maths/Stats folk enough here in numbers to ask: 

(1)... what plugins, macros & other tools did you add to 'empty' to help you work as you need?

 

(2) ... would a pre-configured with those tools have helped?

Best wishes

TT,

This is very similar to previous discussions on full "editions" and I highly support this! For me:

1. tools:

• latex/katex plugin
• bibtex plugin (properly updated? Ive had a long standing issue about this in github, and some suggestion that it will be replaced by the text slicer?)
• the various citation/end note/foot note plugins
• a default easy saving mechanism.
  

2. Absolutely!!! This would have been instrumental in getting my colleagues to try it out

TT you asked this a while ago!
Lego Kit: for MATHEMATICIANS? Thoughts?

(I can't get the link from a search from mobile)

As Diego says Katex is essential (and the reason I initially pickled tiddlywiki)
Evans maths plugin
Possibly mathcell (I've rescued a copy from the wayback machine.)
Simple graphing library (graph-tw5) with some extra magic provided by Birthe (I think) which lets sliders alter the graph in real time.
Personally... My templates to let equations list other equations in which a variable appears in (now I'd sell it as 'roam like functionality for your equations, backlinks to show which other equations contain your variables' example here: stephenteacher.glitch.me)

And then all the tweaks I've made to tiddlywiki!

I did. I might do it again to get really clear :-)

Good example wiki of yours for mathematicians already!

My thinking is this ...

Of "apps" one for maths seems doable with an agreed consensus, albeit just you and Diego.

• WHY don't we just host a BASE MATHS TW somewhere and point to it? I'd host it if you want.
• The idea is a full-featured TW for mathematicians with a Welcome note on what it contains as well as basic info on TW. Especially saving.

Your thoughts?

I think this is a great idea, as long as it also includes a way to reference papers. I could be an example of an "academics" TW more broadly!

Perhaps a more full/updated version of the famous "TW for Scholars" by Alberto Molina:

Ciao Diego

Right. This is where it gets useful to go into details. So your idea is general academic WITH mathematics. 

Sounds like a Good approach. But can we settle on the exact contents? What tools need adding to empty to create an "Academic Mathematicians' TW"?

Can you & Ste agree on what those tools would be?
