    Function Notation
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the use of function names in LaTeX to replace traditional notation in mathematical expressions. Users can utilize the commands \stackrel{}{} and \overset{}{} to annotate arrows with function names, allowing for clearer representation of relationships between variables. Specifically, the expressions A \stackrel{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \stackrel{\psi}{\rightarrow} C and A \overset{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \overset{\psi}{\rightarrow} C are both valid and effective methods for this purpose. The distinction between \stackrel and \overset is not clearly defined in the discussion, indicating a need for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of mathematical notation and functions
  • Knowledge of the \stackrel and \overset commands in LaTeX
  • Basic concepts of function mapping in mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between \stackrel and \overset in LaTeX
  • Explore advanced LaTeX formatting techniques for mathematical expressions
  • Learn about function notation in mathematical contexts
  • Investigate best practices for annotating diagrams and equations in LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, students, and anyone involved in typesetting mathematical documents using LaTeX who seeks to enhance clarity in function representation.

I have something like


A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C


I'd like to put function name's about the \rightarrow's, to replace the notation


\phi : A \rightarrow B, \psi : B \rightarrow C.


Is this possible? Thanks!

You can use \stackrel{}{}.

A \stackrel{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \stackrel{\psi}{\rightarrow} C

gives

A \stackrel{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \stackrel{\psi}{\rightarrow} C

I think you can also use \overset{}{}

A \overset{\phi}{\rightarrow} B \overset{\psi}{\rightarrow} C

Not sure what the difference is.
 
Excellent. Thank you!
