Why copyng a math formula gives me duplicated characters
I didn't know that such tools exists (completly new to LaTex). Thanks to your suggestion I looked for an open source althernative (to avoid anoyances of freemium) and I found pix2tex That works really like a charm.
- I have just started using LaTeX in my Physics and Math courses and I love it and want to learn all about it. Does anyone know any obscure (or well known that I just don't know about) things about LaTeX that are really cool and helpful?

Github packages/Apps that are must have for Physicists using Linux
I have recently discovered a few very helpful github packages which help me make notes while listening to lectures. These would be 1. pix2tex (allows you to scan an equation and convert it to latex) 2. pix2text (allows you to scan an equation with words in it and converts it to latex and text) 3. Tesseract (not really a physics related package, but it does allow me to copy notes from transcripts easily) 4. Mathpix an app that performs all the above mentioned operations better than the packages above, but one which ain't free.

The fastest math typesetting library for the web
This is also a great aid to learing LaTex. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make an OCR system that generates the appropriate LaTex from an picture of an equation?
Turns out the answer is yes:

A better document viewer
If by "like a photocopy" you mean the file contains images of text rather than text, the MacOS viewer presumably does OCR on the images. I don't know if there's a Linux document viewer with that capability built-in, but a quick search turned up the standalone tool OCRmyPDF.

OCR pdf and just keep the OCR text
Fair enough, maybe this might work for you, it should seperate the text from image anyway and if you have Adobe acrobat it should be able delete the background too with the edit function. It may already be able to do that if you haven't tried it
