Surprisingly, the equation number position can is changed through the optional documentclass argument leqno: Left numbering Right numbering (by default and therefore usually skipped): Here is a minimal working example: Align … [Read more…]
Strict inequalities are widely used in math equations as well as within text for comparisons. They can be produced using the ordinary (inline) math-mode ($…$) without loading a specific package. In order to omit the math-mode within a text-paragraph, LaTeX knows text-mode commands for these symbols. Greater than (>): Less than (<): Non-strict inequalities ( … [Read more…]
I was often using any of the available “lorem ipsum” generators on the web while testing different things in LaTeX until I discovered that the Latex distribution provides packages generating blind text, which is definitely more convenient. With just a few lines of code, these packages will generate paragraphes, even whole documents with sections, paragraphs … [Read more…]
WordPress supports the basic LaTeX math mode. How does it work? Simply type $latex …$, where you replace … with the LaTeX math code. Here is an example formula, $latex f(x_1,x_2)=x_1^2+x_2^2$ which translates to: The original post on the official WordPress blog can be found here.
Number sets such as natural numbers () or complex numbers () are not provided by default by LaTeX. It doesn’t mean that LaTeX doesn’t know those sets, or more importantly their symbols… There are two packages which provide the same set of symbols. You can choose to load either of them: Now, you have access … [Read more…]
