Useful LaTeX

LaTeX notation can specify inline or display mode for maths by delimiting with \( or \[ respectively. Here are some simple examples:

• x^2 gives \(x^2\)
• x_n gives \(x_n\)
• x^{2x} gives \(x^{2x}\)
• \alpha\beta gives \(\alpha\beta\)
• \sin(3\pi x) gives \(\sin(3\pi x)\)
• \frac{1}{1-n^2} gives \(\frac{1}{1-n^2}\) when inline. In display mode it gives:

\[ \frac{1}{1-n^2} \]

• \int_a^b x^2\ dx gives \(\int_a^b x^2\ dx\) when inline. In display mode it gives:

\[ \int_a^b x^2\ dx \]
