Description

This template is used to display math using TeX. Specifically, it provides a framework to then include elements using Template:Math formula, Template:Math define, and Template:Math step. Some combination of the other math templates are required.

Syntax

This template always takes the following form.

{{Math table
|formulas=
<Math formula templates>
|definitions=
<Math define templates>
|steps=
<Math step templates>
}}

If not using a particular type of sub-template, you may leave that section out.

Parameters

All parameters to this template are named.

• align: Horizontal of the table within the page. (Defaults to center)
• formulas: Elements to include in the formulas section. (Use Template:Math formula)
• definitions: Elements to include in the definitions section. (Use Template:Math define)
• steps: Elements to include in the definitions section. (Use Template:Math step)

Example

From the thruster mechanics page,

{{Math table
|formulas=
{{Math formula|1=a=\frac {(L_n L_f + S_n S_f)} {m} }}
|definitions=
{{Math define|a|Acceleration (m/s<sup>2</sup>)}}
{{Math define|L_n|Number of large thrusters}}
{{Math define|L_f|Force of each large thruster (N)}}
{{Math define|S_n|Number of small thrusters}}
{{Math define|S_f|Force of each small thruster (N)}}
}}

results in...

$a={\frac {(L_{n}L_{f}+S_{n}S_{f})}{m}}$
Where:
$a$	: Acceleration (m/s2)
$L_{n}$	: Number of large thrusters
$L_{f}$	: Force of each large thruster (N)
$S_{n}$	: Number of small thrusters
$S_{f}$	: Force of each small thruster (N)
