Math equation syntax

Sometimes people ask how to enter math equation correctly (we have number of symbolic math calculators here, see: Mathematical calculator, Derivative, Solving limit problems using L'Hospital's Rule, Second, third, and other derivatives). This article answers this question (at least I hope so).
The calculator below shows a few symbolic math examples. Select a sample from the dropdown, and the calculator gives you the correct math syntax scripted in Planetcalc symbolic math language. Common math representation is displayed as well in the second result field.
