Mastering LaTex: How to Create Side-by-Side Figures and Equations

[nbo10]

Hi all,
How could I get a small figure and a set of equations to appear side by side? Thanks

You could use a minipage or tabular environment.

I'm sure there are other ways.

Hi there,

To create side-by-side figures and equations, you can use the minipage environment in LaTeX. This allows you to divide your page into smaller sections and place different content in each section. Here's an example code:

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figure.jpg}
\caption{Caption for figure}
\label{fig:figure1}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{equation}
E=mc^2
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
F=ma
\end{equation}
\captionof{equation}{Equations}
\label{eq:eq1}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

In this code, the minipage environment is used to divide the page into two sections, with the figure on the left and the equations on the right. You can adjust the width of each minipage to your liking. The \captionof command is used to provide captions for the figure and equations outside of the figure and equation environments. You can refer to the figure and equations using \ref{fig:figure1} and \ref{eq:eq1} respectively.

I hope this helps. Happy LaTeXing!
