\chapter{Mathematical formulas} \label{sec:maths} Mathematical formulas are always set in \emph{math mode}, which, within a paragraph (referred to as \emph{inline}), can be turned on or off with a dollar sign. There is also a \emph{block} environment (cf. \cref{lst:sample-math-environment}). Important packages for mathematical features are the \texttt{amsmath}, \pkg{amsthm}, and \pkg{amssymb} packages of the American Mathematical Society, as well as \pkg{mathtools}. As with many other environments, adding an asterisk turns off the numbering. \example{lst:sample-math-environment}{maths/sample-math-environment}{Exemplary math environments} \section{A few examples} %Die \cref{tbl:maths-common-commands,tbl:maths-logic-sets-braces} listen einige häufig in Formeln verwendeten Befehle auf. \begin{table}[H] \centering \begin{tabular}{ll} \toprule Source code & Result \\ \midrule \code{latex}{\textbackslash sqrt\{16\}} & $\sqrt{16}$ \\ \code{latex}{\textbackslash frac\{3\}\{4\}} & $\frac{3}{4}$ \\ \code{latex}{e\textasciicircum\{\textbackslash pi\}} & $e^{\pi}$ \\ \code{latex}{\textbackslash sum\_\{i=1\}\textasciicircum\{n\}x\textasciicircum 2} & $\sum_{i=1}^{n}x^2$ \\ \code{latex}{12 \textbackslash leq 4 x\textasciicircum 2 + 13} & $12 \leq 4 x^2 + 13$ \\ \code{latex}{{n \textbackslash choose k}} & ${n \choose k}$ \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \caption{Frequently used commands (square root, fraction, power, sum, inequation, binomial coefficient). By \code{latex}{\textasciicircum\{…\}} and \code{latex}{\_\{…\}}, the content is set in super- or subscript.} \label{tbl:maths-common-commands} \end{table} \begin{table}[H] \widebox{ \centering \begin{tabular}{ll} \toprule Source code & Result \\ \midrule \code{latex}{(x), [x], \textbackslash lbrace x \textbackslash rbrace, \textbackslash lvert x \textbackslash rvert} & $(x), [x], \lbrace x\rbrace, \lvert x\rvert$\\ \code{latex}{\textbackslash exists,\textbackslash forall,\textbackslash in,\textbackslash notin,\textbackslash infty} & $\exists,\forall,\in,\notin,\infty$ \\ \code{latex}{\textbackslash alpha, \textbackslash beta, \textbackslash Gamma, \textbackslash Delta, \textbackslash varepsilon, \textbackslash pi} & $\alpha, \beta, \Gamma, \Delta, \varepsilon, \pi$ \\ \code{latex}{\textbackslash rightarrow, \textbackslash leftarrow, \textbackslash Rightarrow, \textbackslash Leftarrow, \textbackslash Leftrightarrow} & $\rightarrow, \leftarrow, \Rightarrow, \Leftarrow, \Leftrightarrow$ \\ \code{latex}{(A \textbackslash cup B) \textbackslash cap C} & $(A \cup B) \cap C$ \\ \code{latex}{(A \textbackslash lor B) \textbackslash land C} & $(A \lor B) \land C$ \\ \code{latex}{(A \textbackslash cdot B) \textbackslash times C} & $(A \cdot B) \times C$ \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \caption{Brackets, quantifiers, greek letters, arrows, operators} \label{tbl:maths-logic-sets-braces} } \end{table} \section{Growing brackets} Especially in combination with fractions, brackets should grow according to their content. This can be achieved by pre-pending each bracket (\code{latex}{(}, \code{latex}{)}, \code{latex}{[}, \code{latex}{]}, \code{latex}{\textbackslash lbrace} and \code{latex}{\textbackslash rbrace}) with a position marker (\code{latex}{\textbackslash left} or \code{latex}{\textbackslash right}). \example{lst:growing-brackets}{maths/growing-brackets}{Example for growing brackets} \section{Lower and upper bounds} The \code{latex}{\textbackslash limits} command renders lower and upper bounds of integrals above and below the integral sign. Sums, products, and limits do this automatically (cf. \cref{lst:limits}). For inline formulas, \code{latex}{\textbackslash limits} are of bounded suitability. \example{lst:limits}{maths/limits}{Lower and upper bounds of sums, products, limits and integrals} \section{Aligning equations} The \mono{align} environment allows to align multiple equations horizontally, e.\,g., at the \mono{=} sign (\cref{lst:math-alignment-example}). As in tables, the \mono{\&} sign is used to specify anchorage points. Line breaks are denoted by two backslashes. \Example{lst:math-alignment-example}{maths/align-example}{maths/align-example_crop}{Equations aligned at equals signs} \section{Text in math mode} Sometimes sets have to be defined in terms of textual descriptions or longer function names. The \LaTeX{} math mode assumes that letters are variables rather than text, which creates problems when they are indeed supposed to be entire words. For this case, there is the \code{latex}{\textbackslash text\{\}} command (c.\,f. \cref{lst:set-builder-notation}). \example{lst:set-builder-notation}{maths/set-builder-notation}{Problems arising from intensional set notation and their solution}
