What's the TeX for a double closed loop integral?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the use of LaTeX for creating a double closed loop integral. The user initially attempted to use the command \ooiint but found it insufficient for their needs. A solution was provided, recommending the inclusion of the package wasysym in the LaTeX preamble, which enables the command \oiint. Additionally, the esint package was suggested as an alternative, offering commands like \oiint and \varoiint for enhanced integral representation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of LaTeX document preparation
  • Familiarity with LaTeX packages and their usage
  • Knowledge of mathematical notation in LaTeX
  • Experience with integral symbols in LaTeX
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the wasysym package for additional symbols in LaTeX
  • Explore the esint package for advanced integral commands
  • Review "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" for more symbols
  • Learn how to customize LaTeX preambles for specific document needs
USEFUL FOR

Students, mathematicians, and anyone involved in typesetting mathematical documents using LaTeX, particularly those needing advanced integral representations.

Homework Statement




I tried using \ooiint, I want a loop that circles both integrals (two), anyone know?

I don't know if you can do it without including an extra package called wasysym in your LaTeX source file. I did some searching and found that if you put \usepackage{wasysym} in your document preamble, a control sequence called \oiint becomes available. I've attached a pic of what it looks like. Next time try Googling for it yourself. It wasn't too long before I found an online PDF called "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" with this information in it.

Actually, I kind of like the ones in the package esint instead. It includes \oiint and \varoiint (attached in that order).

I'm not sure if there's any way to enable these on PF, if that's your question. You could ask in Forum Feedback.
