SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on displaying matrix-vector equations using LaTeX, specifically how to format matrices inline. Warren demonstrates the use of the array environment combined with appropriate bracketing to achieve this. The example provided shows the correct syntax for a 2x2 matrix, which is essential for clear mathematical representation in documents. Mastery of this formatting technique is crucial for anyone looking to present complex equations effectively.

A bit OT, I know, but there must be a way to get matrices to appear on the same line so I can write matrix-vector equations.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
matrices can usually be displayed with an array argument, plus some bracketing argument
 
Like this?

[tex] \sigma_{3} = \left(<br /> \begin{array}{cc}<br /> 1 & 0\\<br /> 0 & -1<br /> \end{array}<br /> \right)[/tex]
