Hello,

        This is my first time posting to this list. First, let me say that LyX
has been a great tool for me - I do all my write-ups and homework sets
in it now. It certainly makes LaTeX easier and faster to use. So keep up
the good work!

        That said, I haven't found a way to include most cursive characters in
math formulas. There is the \ell, \imath and \jmath, but that's it in
terms of lower case cursive. Given that I study physics, characters like
the cursive 'r' come up quite a bit. It would be nice if there were a
whole cursive alphabet section like one sees for the greek letters.

I think what you want is \mathcal, which you can get by using whatever you'd ordinarily use for emphasis (by default, Ctrl-E) in mathmode.
