{{Asymptote}}
{{main|Asymptote}}
'''Asymptote''' is a powerful vector graphics language designed for creating mathematical diagrams and figures.  It can output images in either eps or pdf format and is compatible with the standard mathematics typesetting language, [[LaTeX]].  It is also a complete programming language and has cleaner syntax than its predecessor, [http://netlib.bell-labs.com/who/hobby/MetaPost.html MetaPost].
Asymptote is very handy for producing diagrams such as the ones below:
<center>[[Image:Figure1.jpg]]</center>
To begin and end Asymptote codes, you can use the <tt><nowiki<asy>..</asy></nowiki></tt>  tags.
<asy>
draw((0,0)--(3,7),red);
dot((0,0));
dot((3,7));
label("Produced with Asymptote "+version.VERSION,point(S),2S);
</asy></nowiki></pre>
created the picture
<center><asy>
draw((0,0)--(3,7),red);
dot((0,0));
dot((3,7));
label("Produced with Asymptote "+version.VERSION,point(S),2S);
</asy></center>
And on the AoPS forums you can use <tt><nowiki>[asy]..[/asy]</nowiki></tt>
Another example:
<pre><nowiki>[asy]
pair A,B,C,X,Y,Z;
A = (0,0);
B = (1,0);
C = (0.3,0.8);
draw(A--B--C--A);
X = (B+C)/2;
Y = (A+C)/2;
Z = (A+B)/2;
draw(A--X, red);
draw(B--Y,red);
draw(C--Z,red);
[/asy]</nowiki></pre>
<asy>
pair A,B,C,X,Y,Z;
A = (0,0);
B = (1,0);
C = (0.3,0.8);
draw(A--B--C--A);
X = (B+C)/2;
Y = (A+C)/2;
Z = (A+B)/2;
draw(A--X, red);
draw(B--Y,red);
draw(C--Z,red);
</asy>
In a sense, Asymptote seems to be the ruler and compass of graphical typesetting.

The $\text{\LaTeX}$ typesetting system (typically pronounced "Lah-Tek is widely used to produce well-formatted mathematical and scientific writing. $\text{\LaTeX}$ is very handy for producing equations such as \[\frac 25\cdot13=\frac{26}{5}\cdot1=\sqrt{\tfrac{676}{25}}\] and \[3^n=\underbrace{3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\cdot3\dots}_{n\text{ copies of 3}}.\] Nearly every serious math or science student will use $\text{\LaTeX}$ frequently. Through these web pages, you will learn much of what you'll need to express math and science like a professional.
