Why are mathmatical equations displayed so small?

Why are mathmatical equations displayed so small in all science technology engineering and mathmatics? 174.134.27.44 (talk) 22:01, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asking about how equations are displayed in Wikipedia articles, or in general? -- ToE 22:43, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point us to any examples? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:22, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As an example see Wikipedia Einstein Field Equations > mathmatical form.

Why are mathmatical equations displayed so small?

Why are mathmatical equations displayed so small in all science technology engineering and mathmatics? As a single example please see Wikipedia, Einstein Field Equations, mathmatical form.

To be be more consices and clear. Can Wikipedia do anything to enlarge the display of mathmatical formulas in general. I'm not asking how the program works that creates the display. I'm asking can the mathmatical equations be made large enough without manipulating anything in a Wikipedia article such that a person with poor vision could read the formulas. In general across all Wikipedia articles with mathematical equations. 174.134.27.44 (talk) 16:53, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The easiest way to make the equations larger is to use the zoom function of your web browser. Usually this is activated by holding down the Control/Command key and tapping the plus sign on the keyboard. Further instructions: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox. clpo13_(talk) 17:02, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Lauer, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump interviews

What has Lauer said in responwse to criticisms of his interview with Clinton and Trump?144.35.45.71 (talk) 23:40, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I could point you to any public statements by Lauer responding to his critics, but I have spent a good five minutes mining Google with various search attempts, and can't find any. Perhaps he hasn't has any response. I can't, unfortunately, provide a source that says "he said nothing", but I can say I can't find any source at all. --Jayron 32 03:06, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
