Now to type in the famous Euler formula. Our aim is to type
</p><pre class="programlisting">e^{j\pi} + 1 &=& 0</pre><p> Instead
of typing this blindly, let us use a few shortcuts to reduce
movement. Start out by typing <code class="literal">e^</code>. Now instead of
typing <code class="literal">{</code>, type another <code class="literal">^</code>. You
will see the <code class="literal">e^^</code> change instantly to
<code class="literal">e^{}<++></code> with the cursor between
<code class="literal">{}</code>'s. (The <code class="literal">^^</code> changed to
<code class="literal">^{}<++></code>.) Continue with the following sequence of
letters: <code class="literal">j`p</code>. This will change instantly to
<code class="literal">j\pi</code>. (The <code class="literal">`p</code> changed to
<code class="literal">\pi</code>.) Having typed in all we need to type between
the <code class="literal">{}</code>'s, press <code class="literal"><C-j></code>.
You will pop back out of the curly-braces. Continue typing the rest
of the formula. You can use <code class="literal">==</code> as a shortcut for
<code class="literal">&=&</code>. Latex-Suite provides a large number
of such shortcuts which should making typing much more fun and fast
if you get acquainted with them. A list is provided <a class="ulink" href="http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/auc-tex-mappings.html" target="_top">here</a>. Definitely spend some time getting a feel for
them. Most of them are pretty intuitive like <code class="literal">`/</code>
for <code class="literal">\frac{}{}</code>, <code class="literal">`8</code> for
<code class="literal">\infty</code> etc.
</p><p>
In order to understand the next section better, it will be helpful
to have one more <code class="literal">\label</code>. Lets use the handy
<code class="literal"><F5></code>
key to insert another equation. This time something simple like the
following will do:
</p><pre class="programlisting">\begin{eqnarray}
\label{eqn:simple}
1 + 1 = 2
\end{eqnarray}</pre><p>
