## Math Notation Help

This glossary will help you build complex mathematical equations using the Tex markup language. This will involve using @@ or $$before and after the expression to display the desired results.

• Ex.: a~\hspace{2}~b$
• $gives also $a~\hspace{2}~b$  Keyword(s): math spaces #### \; • \; (backslash semicolon) inserts the third smallest predefined space in a formula • Equivalent: \hspace{6} • Ex.: $$a\;b$gives$a\;b$ • Ex.: a~\hspace{6}~b$ • gives also $a~\hspace{6}~b$  Keyword(s): math spaces #### \: • \: inserts the second smallest predefined space in a formula • Equivalent: \hspace{4} • Ex.:$$a\:b$gives$a\:b$ • Ex.: a~\hspace{4}~b$ •$ gives also $a~\hspace{4}~b$
 Keyword(s): math spaces

#### \/ (backslash slash)

• \/ (backslash slash) avoids ligatures
• Ex.: $$V\/A$gives$V\/A$in contrast to VA$ which gives $VA$  Keyword(s): math spaces, ligature #### \~ • In order to prevent some browser specific problems with whitespaces, it is advisable to use ~ (tilde) as the whitespace instead of the normal blank key (in places where whitespaces are mandatory, e.g. after commands). • Ex.:$$\frac~xy$to produce$\frac~xy$$• Ex.:$$\sqrt~n$to produce$\sqrt~n$$ Keyword(s): blank space, blank key, required whitespace #### \hspace{n} • inserts a space of n pixels • Ex.:$$f(x)\hspace{6}=\hspace{6}0$gives$f(x)\hspace{6}=\hspace{6}0$$• can be combined with the preceding command \unitlength{m}(default: m=1px) , which defines the applied unit • Ex.:$$\unitlength{20}a\hspace{2}b$gives$\unitlength{20}a\hspace{2}b$$, i.e. a space of 20x2=40px  Keyword(s): math spaces #### \LARGE (all capital letters) • Everthing following the \LARGE command will be output in the largest predefined font size until the system encounters another font size command. • Note: This command is case sensitive, since large, Large and LARGE are different sizes! • Ex.:$$\LARGE~3x$gives$\LARGE~3x$$ Keyword(s): font size, #### \Large (L capital letter) • Everthing following the \Large command will be output in the second largest font size until the system encounters another font size command. • Note: This command is case sensitive, since large, Large and LARGE are different sizes! • Ex.:$$\Large~3x$gives$\Large~3x$$ Keyword(s): font size, #### \large (all lower case letters) • Everthing following the \large command will be output in the large font size until the system encounters another font size command. • Note: This command is case sensitive, since large, Large and LARGE are different sizes! • Ex.:$$\large~3x$gives$\large~3x
 Keyword(s): font size, fs{3}
