I would think that Impress would be just as worthy of a significant chapter as Writer. Presentations, especially those written in academia by and for students frequently use equations and formulas (I've seen them often in Finance, Engineering and Computer Science course presentations)...I've used formulas more in presentations than in text documents (but that was as an instructor, as a student I used them more within text documents)... I took some Cisco router courses last year that contained a good deal of electrical engineering formulas on the slideshow "lectures". > That would correspond more or less to how I think Math is actually > used. While some users may use OOo for word processing others will have their own "favorite" tool. Whatever that component is, will dictate how important a Math guide is to them. > The most common way to use Math is to embed formulae > in text documents.
