Record Formulas Like These Beautifully

[Quantum Mechanics] Schrodinger Equation

$\displaystyle i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi = \hat{H}\Psi$

[Statistical Mechanics] Boltzmann Distribution

$\displaystyle P(E) = \frac{1}{Z}e^{-\beta E}$, $\displaystyle Z = \sum_i e^{-\beta E_i}$

[Analysis] Fourier Transform

$\displaystyle \hat{f}(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t) e^{-i\omega t} dt$

[Linear Algebra] Eigenvalue Problem

$A\mathbf{v} = \lambda\mathbf{v}$, $\det(A - \lambda I) = 0$

[Differential Geometry] Covariant Derivative

$\displaystyle \nabla_\mu V^\nu = \partial_\mu V^\nu + \Gamma^\nu_{\mu\lambda} V^\lambda$

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I easily record formulas from papers?

Yes, you can input formulas using LaTeX notation. Simply wrap with $ signs, and complex formulas like Schrodinger equation or Maxwell equations display beautifully.

Is it really useful for grad school exam prep?

Yes, many grad students use it. You can compile important theorems and formulas from multiple textbooks in one place, making last-minute review much more efficient.

Can I use it without knowing LaTeX?

Basic formulas are easy to input. $x^2$ for superscripts, $\frac{a}{b}$ for fractions - learning common notations is enough. We provide a math input guide.

Is BibTeX export free?

BibTeX export is a paid plan feature (Personal Plan from 380 yen/month). However, math input features are unlimited even on the free plan.

How is it different from other reference managers (Zotero, Mendeley, etc.)?

Reading Forest specializes in "notes about what you read." Beyond just bibliographic information, you can keep detailed notes including math formulas. Use alongside Zotero or Mendeley for deeper learning records.
