### A quick me-too and a suggestion

First of all, let me get this out of my system:

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial q_1} = \cdots = \frac{\partial u}{\partial q_n}$

Ok, now I have one more reason not to move out from WordPress.com

The LaTeX people should, by now, have a simple “web” version of LaTeX that can be easily installed by dropping files in your cgi-bin directory. The vast majority of people with hosting services that won’t grant them shell access can’t ever have LaTeX because the current distributions are so desktop-oriented.

Well, for the simple stuff, there’s always unicode…

 ∂u ∂u —— = ⋯ = —— ∂q₁ ∂q ⁿ 

• ## Dr. Syntaxfree

Dr. Syntaxfree has no PhD and shouldn't call himself a "doctor", but does so for amusement value anyway. An unemployed (ok, graduate student) econopundit by day, he's been progressively obsessed about Haskell to the point he often can't fathom not working on it. A jack-of-many-trades, he has an unusual CS background in that he knows no imperative programming at all, he hopes to be both helpful to those less knowledgeable than him and illustrative to the really smart people trying to understand the mentality of a common man trying to tackle functional programming.
