I loved MathType. My love affair ended yesterday. I wanted to do a simple function in bracket notation: T(x) = (3n+2)/2 if n is odd, and n/2 if n is even. (Yes, I'm one of those Collatz people)

Now on my WINDOWS version of Mathtype, this sort of thing Just Works. But now I have a mac, and on my MAC version, the bracket is all in pieces and awful. This is with the real MathType, not "equation editor." It looks bad on the screen, when I save as .pdf, and I even tried saving as .html and it still is all broken up. I wound up creating it in MAPLE and doing a screen capture, and then cropping the screen cap.

Boo to MathType; at least the Mac version.

(BTW: The LaTeX code for that function:

$T\left( x\right) =\left\{ \begin{array}{cc} \frac{3n+1}{2} & n\text{ odd} \\ \frac{n}{2} & n\text{ even}% \end{array}% \right.$

Even if you have never seen LaTeX, I'll bet you can figure out what is going on. The syntax is not that bad.)

"If value corrupts then absolute value corrupts absolutely."

Working...
