Inspired by this question on MathOverFlow, I thought I'd try my hand at screencasts of drawing standard mathematical symbols.

---

I'm using Inkscape to draw them as it has a calligraphic tool (I have to admit that I'm not impressed by the time delay on it, though, so I may swap to some other program). I'm using a graphics tablet (Wacom Bamboo Fun) rather than a tablet PC so I'm not so accurate as with a real calligraphic pen (I should upload a scan just to prove this!). I'm recording them using "recordMyDesktop".

It's really quite easy to do so if these are useful, please let me know with any requests and I'll do some more.
