Is it possible for a science teacher to write mathematics and equations in verbum notes. Is Science teachers  features bundle available in Verbum?

Currently, as far as I used, only Word features is available. If science equations features are available, please let me know.

    Bumping in hopes of getting a response.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I think Verbum Software should be updated including some mathematical functionalities. It will help science teachers immensely.

    My suggestion is,

    1) All Mathematical symbols is to be included atleast upto Higher Secondary Level.

    A feature which needed is to enlarge and shorten the symbols.

    2) Graphs are not a big problem because it can be made somewhere and uploaded. But if Logos can build a graph representation, its far better.. 🙏

    What are some examples of where a science teacher would be using Bible study software - use cases are important for selling an idea.

    Have you tried typing the equation in word then pasting it into Notes

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have seen some fine collection of science books in E books section of Faithlife. Science is proving with mathematical equations. Since its not just theory, I have tried many ways to save my notes but unfortunately failed. So my question is, what is the point of these science texts selling, which can't be used to build up some notes over it?

    I've been wondering about that before, but since I don't use the notes feature a lot, didn't bother to post a suggestion. There aren't only pure science books in the (general) ebooks section of Faithlife, but also a lot of books that overlap with theology/apologetics in the main Logos/Verbum stores (logic, astronomy, biology, physics, and even mathematics.) So while at first sight, support for equations looks like a fringe idea, maybe it could be useful for a larger number of users.

    Windows does have built in support for equations via the Math Input Panel. Not sure whether anything similar exists in MacOS (but I assume so, since they copy all the good ideas from Windows.)

    Just write an equation or another scientific expression in it, click insert, and the equation is inserted in any open application (Word, Powerpoint, Publisher etc.) Any open application except Logos/Verbum... Maybe there are more that aren't compatible, but Logos is the only one I've ever  noticed that doesn't work.

    While I doubt that adding native math support into Logos/Verbum would be worthwhile, maybe supporting the Math Input Panel would be a good middle way, and probably easy to implement. (There's an open source Math Input Panel grabber on GitHub that consists of 59 lines of code, about 10 of which are blank for formatting reasons.)

    Is the point to be able to have an editable equation or insert an equation?

    There is the option to insert screen clippings from whatever you use to write equations.

    All equation editors I have used have been somewhat clunky and effectively open another mini application to do the work (e.g. word you go into a different mode with different behaviour).

    Maybe the request to Logos should be to display mathtext that has been inserted from another app. In the meantime, use screenshots.

    Ocassionally I might like to enter equations but I’m hesitant to ask for more software bloat for something that is rarely used.
