First of all, check out "Launch LaTeX Equation Editor" up in the bottom-left of the header if you're new to LaTeX. It's very simple to generate math and a great way to start learning LaTeX, and it can save as a picture, with a few options.

Let's share some tips, ask some questions, answer some questions, talk about TeX, share resources, things like that.

I just learned a cool tip! You can make shortcuts for longer commands that you use often (for those of you writing longish reports, not equations online)

So if you wanted to replace \mathbb{N} with \N you could do:

\newcommand{\N}{\mathbb{N}}

And put it anywhere before you plan to use the shortcut, I'd assume. I usually just do it after I list my packages.

(I've never sat down and read a full guide for latex, so maybe this is common knowledge, but I never realized it until I saw a prof do it.)
