\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},
\texttt{amsthm}, and \texttt{amssymb} packages of the American Mathematical
Society, as well as \texttt{mathtools}.
As with many other environments, adding an asterisk turns off the numbering.

\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
\mintinline{latex}{\sqrt{16}} & $\sqrt{16}$ \\
\mintinline{latex}{\frac{3}{4}} & $\frac{3}{4}$ \\
\mintinline{latex}{e^{\pi}} & $e^{\pi}$ \\
\mintinline{latex}{\sum_{i=1}\^{n}x^2} & $\sum_{i=1}^{n}x^2$ \\
\mintinline{latex}{12 \leq 4 x^2 + 13} & $12 \leq 4 x^2 + 13$ \\
\mintinline{latex}{{n \choose k}} & ${n \choose k}$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\section{Growing brackets}
Especially in combination with fractions, brackts should grow according to their content.
This can be achieved by prepending each bracket (\mintinline{latex}{(}, \mintinline{latex}{)}, \mintinline{latex}{[}, \mintinline{latex}{]}, \mintinline{latex}{\lbrace} and \mintinline{latex}{\rbrace}) with a position marker (\mintinline{latex}{\left} oder \mintinline{latex}{\right}).
\example{lst:growing-brackets}{maths/growing-brackets}{Example for growing brackets}
\section{Lower and upper bounds}
The \mintinline{latex}{\limits} command renders lower and upper bounds of integrals above and below the integral sign.
Sums, products, and \todo{quite confusing in English}limits do this
automatically (c.\,f. \cref{lst:limits}).
For inline formulas, \mintinline{latex}{\limits} are of limited suitability.
\example{lst:limits}{maths/limits}{Lower and upper bounds of sums, products, limits and integrals}
\section{Aligning equations}
The \texttt{align} environment allows to align multiple equations horizontally, e.\,g. at the \texttt{=} sign (\cref{lst:math-alignment-example}).
As in tables, the \texttt{\&} 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{Intensional set notation}\todo{Is that really what this section is about? Looks rather like a “text within maths” section to me.}
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 \mintinline{latex}{\mathrm{}} command (\enquote{math roman}, c.\,f. \cref{lst:set-builder-notation}).
