SUMMARY

The discussion centers on issues related to displaying a Jacobian matrix using LaTeX code. The original LaTeX code provided by the user, Peter, contains an error due to a missing backslash before the ending tag "end{pmatrix}". The correct format should include the backslash, ensuring proper rendering of the matrix. The community member identified this mistake and provided the corrected LaTeX code for successful display.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LaTeX syntax for mathematical expressions
  • Familiarity with Jacobian matrices in calculus
  • Knowledge of matrix notation and operations
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for LaTeX rendering issues
NEXT STEPS

Can someone help ... the following is supposed to be a Jacobian matrix ...= $$ \begin{pmatrix} \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_2} \end{pmatrix} $$
But it won't display ... comes up with an error ...

Actual Latex code is as follows:\begin{pmatrix} \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_2} end{pmatrix}
Can someone please diagnose what is wrong ...

Help will be appreciated,

Peter

You need a backslash towards the end:

\begin{pmatrix} \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_2} end{pmatrix}

$$\begin{pmatrix} \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_1}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_2}{ \partial x_2} \\ \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_1} & \frac{ \partial F_3}{ \partial x_2} \end{pmatrix}$$
 
The ending tag wasn't escaped...I edited your post to do so. :)
