In Pear Start, you can generate math class materials and export them to Google Docs in LaTeX or Plain Text format.
  • LaTeX : a standardized format for rendering complex math formulas as properly formatted equations, commonly used in math and science
  • Plain Text : a basic format containing standard symbols and characters, compatible with common text editors
Due to a Google Docs limitation with rendering advanced math formulas, install an administrator-approved Google Docs extension for precise LaTeX rendering. See the Resources section for a recommended extension.
