How GPT Helps Scientists with Formulas

ChatGPT understands Latex, but using it is complicated. Mathpix helps recognize formulas in images.

ChatGPT understands Latex (a markup language for writing formulas), but using it is not simple and takes time.
To the rescue comes https://mathpix.com/image-to-latex - a service that recognizes formulas in images and converts them to Latex format.

So, the algorithm is as follows:

1. Take a screenshot
2. Convert from image to Latex using https://mathpix.com/image-to-latex
3. Copy the Latex formula into ChatGPT and ask a question (for example, solve the equation, write code, find an error, etc.)
4. If necessary, convert back from Latex to image using the online compiler https://latexbase.com/
