So that I don't have to retype them every single damn time. e.g. I'll only need to type "fourier transform" to get the template.

Sure, I could look up the latex code from the page source in wikipedia, but it would be nicer if I could search the code directly.

This is not what you are looking for, but maybe it's notable that on the arxiv you can also access the latex source code that was submitted. – Rasmus Apr 1 '11 at 6:47

You can easily use $\backslash$newcommand to create your own package with commands you often use. Another nice website to find symbols, whose name you always forget, is http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html

sorry for not being specific. What I meant is formula template, like $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$. sorry for being lazy, but your link is pretty cool too. – pcr Apr 1 '11 at 20:39
If I couldn't find any repository like I mentioned before, then I'll go create one. maybe it'll be more useful in science/engineering, since they have more named' equations. – pcr Apr 1 '11 at 20:43
The first idea I mentioned was defining something like \newcommand{euler}{$e^{i\pi}+1=0$}. Then you can use the command \euler to print this formula. You can create your own collection of handy commands this way. – Thomas Rot Apr 2 '11 at 20:59
