#6LaTeX is super cool for mathematics and academic papers. For my book though I had to migrate off to InDesign because it was just much easier/quicker to get it to do what I wanted.

#7Detexify is another one that's been around for many years (at least 5 at this point) and has saved me hours: http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html

Tried it -- it doesn't work on my Linux laptop touch-screen, because hand gestures count only as mouse moves, not drags. Windows might differ.
Update -- it does work on an Android tablet, where hand gestures do count as drags. Very nice -- if only my tablet were twice as big so my fingers wouldn't get in each others' way.
Pretty slick. Now to get it as an open-source app.

#10Very neat. One problem is immediate: when I handwrite an "x" for maths, it is as two 'c's touching back-to-back, so as not to confuse with some multiplication/cross-product symbol; such input proves very confusing to this code.
