Stemformulas is a website dedicated to providing a single place to look for STEM formulas. It has a long way to go to become that, but the foundation is laid out.

It was made by a few engineering students (lead by @linguinelabs) who were frustrated with the current state of formula searching online. This frustration lead to the focus of the features of the site, which include:

  • The search bar being in focus on site load, so you can search for a formula quickly
  • LaTeX being copyable by just clicking on it on any formula’s page
  • The / key being used to open the search on any page
  • Formula pages having nice preview images when shared on social media, so people don’t even need to visit the site to see the formula
  • The mobile-friendliness of the site

Tech Stack #

This site is open-source on GitHub.

It is made with the static website framework Hugo using the Congo theme, with many custom HTML/CSS/JS additions from our team.

It is hosted on GitHub Pages, deployed conveniently with GitHub Actions.

Contributing #

If you want to add a formula to this site, there are two ways you can do so.

  1. Submit a formula on our suggest page). This has been revamped to have a preview for ease of use.

  2. Create a pull request directly on the GitHub repo. This is of course easier for us to merge, but requires more effort from you. More detailed contribution instructions can be found in the README.
