Just trying...

\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log \cos \Omega \ d \Omega

f(x) = \sin x, \mbox{if} \ x \ \epsilon \ (0, \frac{\pi}{2})

 

[nu_paradigm]

f(x) = \left {\begin{array}{cc}\sin x,&\mbox{if} \ x \epsilon \ [0, \frac{\pi}{2})\\ \cos x, & \mbox{if} \ x \epsilon \ [\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi)\end {array}\right

aaahhaa! now that more like it
hey thanks doc

Hello everybody

Sorry if this has been discussed already, I couldn't find anything like it:
How can I create a statement like
<br /> \hat{\xi}(g_0) \longrightarrow \infty \ (g_0 \rightarrow g_0^*),<br />
but with the second limit written smaller and below the first arrow?

Thanks, Bruno

 

[dextercioby]

\hat{\xi}\left(g_{0}\right)\substack{\displaystyle{\longrightarrow}\\g_{0}\rightarrow g_{0}^{*}} \infty

Daniel.

 

[robphy]

Here's a little modification of dextercioby's suggestion.
\hat{\xi}\left(g_{0}\right) <br /> \underset{ g_{0}\rightarrow g_{0}^{*} <br /> }{<br /> \overrightarrow{\qquad\qquad} <br /> }\<br /> \infty
or
\hat{\xi}\left(g_{0}\right) <br /> \underset{ g_{0}\rightarrow g_{0}^{*} <br /> }{<br /> \overrightarrow{\qquad} <br /> }\<br /> \infty

 

[kuengb]

Thank you! That's exactly what I've looked for.

U can use "{}" or "\qquad" or simply "space \ space" to place a space between "f(x)" and "dx".

Check of alignment of equal signs (use of * disables auto gen of equation numbers):

For this sum:

\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-2)^{-n}}{n+1}

Consider:

ln(1+x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}x^n}{n}\quad\text{for}\quad-1&lt;x&lt;1

Letting x=\frac{1}{2}

ln(3/2)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{2^n n}

Letting i=n-1 we obtain:

\begin{align*}<br /> <br /> ln(3/2)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{2^n n}&amp;=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{i+2}}{2^{i+1} (i+1)}\\<br /> <br /> &amp;=\frac{1}{2}+\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^2 (-1)^i}{(2)2^i(i+1)}\\<br /> <br /> &amp;=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^i}{2^i(i+1)}\\<br /> <br /> &amp;=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-2)^{-i}}{i+1}<br /> <br /> \end{align}

Solving for the series, I obtain:

\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-2)^{-i}}{(i+1)}=-1+2ln(3)-2ln(2)

This result agrees with Mathematica.

You know, rather than abusing our LaTex compiler, maybe you should get a hand on a version of TeXAide or other application which can compile LaTex code. It's not really fair towards the users of the site, and neither to its owner.

I personally recommend MikTeX, I'm very pleased with it.

Abusing the compiler?
*How am I abusing the LaTex compiler?
(was the LaTex code too long?)

My post was an equation for the area of a certain kind of ruled surface,
as seen on the thread https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=77312
(apparently I wasn't abusing at that time?)
*And TeXAide is not needed, uc, for my equation came out just the way I intended without "Aid". What exactly is wrong with it?

I did, but I couldn't do it for my first post. When I returned to this thread (after visiting some other site), I could not at all find that "Edit" button--and could not change the post. (and then i wrote that second post)\-(very Sorry for the inconvenience !//)
------------------------------------------------------
Btw, what notation is used to express limits of a sequence?
Let's say I have the simple arithmetic sequence A_n defined as
A_n = n, and I want to express this sequence up to 1631. Do
I have to write out \left\{ {0,1,2, \ldots ,1631} \right\}, or can I just simply write:
\left\{ {A_n } \right\}_0^{1631} ..or just \left\{ {n} \right\}_0^{1631}
?? Is it ok to use the latter??

 

[Orion1]

My Latex 'texify.exe' program currently compiles my *.dvi files at an apparent default character screen width of '13 cm', I manually determined this value by measuring a physical hard copy of a default *.dvi character printout.

Is there a simple command or option of increasing this width value?

 

[lonelyphysicist]

The simple_wick.tex file works very well. I could not get the other one to work. I also did not have any of the problems the author gives for simple_wick.tex.

Norman

Could you explain how to use this simple_wick.tex file? I don't understand the example given at all.

Thanks!

Very nice forum you've got here!

I just wondered, how do you create the 1-bit transparent PNGs for the equations on this forum?? I'm setting up a website of my own where I'll be displaying lots of latex-generated equations. I have tried with both 'convert' and 'dvipng' to create the PNGs, but all I can get is alpha-channel transparent PNGs, which of course don't work in Internet Explorer. I've tried everything, or so it seems, but with no luck whatsoever. Can anyone give me a hint on how to do this?

Thanks!
