With Wolfram|Alpha, if I enter:
Integrate[r^3, {t, 0, 2Pi}, {r, 0, 2}, {z, r^2, 4}]
Wolfram|Alpha will pretty print my input like so:
Which is very readable, and I can easily check to make sure I entered in my bounds and integrand correctly. Were as if I entered that formula straight into Mathematica, it just spits out the answer and I have to manually inspect my raw input for typos.
So, my question is: Is it possible to nicely display formulas in Mathematica without using Wolfram|Alpha?
I want a way to convert my raw input "Integrate[r^3, {t, 0, 2Pi}, {r, 0, 2}, {z, r^2, 4}]
" into a more human-friendly form.
(The problem with calling Wolfram|Alpha from Mathematica all the time is that it is slow, sometimes times out, requires internet, and is often much more noisy than I need.)
Esc
+int
+Esc
enters $\int$, which I've always found to be far more convenient than using the drop-down menus. $\endgroup$ – DumpsterDoofus Nov 30 '14 at 22:29
