We can also use the `equation` block environment: ``` {.lang-tex .hljs} \begin{equation} 2 \sqrt{\frac{\pi^2}{3} \cdot c_2} \end{equation} ``` Packages: `amsmath`, `amsthm`, `amssymb`, `mathtools` @preview ![](svg/chapter-09/simple-maths-crop.svg) @slide(layout=content-only) @title Examples @content

@slide(layout=content-and-preview) @title Aligning a group of equations @content The `align` environment permits us to align equations at certain positions like the ‘ = ’ character. ``` {.lang-tex .hljs} \begin{align} 13 \cdot (4a - 3)^2 &= 13 … \\ &= 208a^2 - 312a + 117 \end{align} ``` * ++ The equations will be aligned with respect to the ampersands (‘`&`’). * ++ We can mark a new line using ‘`\\`’. * ++ `align` and `equation` will not be numbered if we add an asterisk after their names (e. g. `\begin{align*}` and `\end{align*}`). @preview ![](svg/chapter-09/alignment-crop.svg) @slide(layout=task-without-number) @task-number 8a @title Typesetting mathematics @content Code up the following formulas in the file `exercises/maths/math-formulas.tex`. | Meaning | Result | |---------|--------| | Gravitational acceleration | $9,81\,\frac{m}{s^2}$ | | Formula to solve quadratic equations | $x_{1,2} = - \frac{p}{2} \pm \sqrt{\left(\frac{p}{2}\right)^2 - q}$ | | Another formula to solve quadratic equations | $x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$ | | Catalan numbers | $C_n = \frac{1}{n+1} {2n \choose n} = \frac{(2n)!}{(n+1)!n!}$ | @slide(layout=task-without-number) @task-number 8b @title Typesetting mathematics @content Code up the following formulas in the file `exercises/maths/math-formulas.tex`. | Meaning | Result | |---------|--------| | Definition of factorial | $n! = \prod_{i=1}^{n} i$ | | Set of all odd natural numbers | $\{ x \mid x \in \mathbb{N}, \text{odd}(x) \}$ | | Elimination $\neg\exists x$ | $\neg\exists x . p(x) \Leftrightarrow \forall x . \neg p(x)$ | @slide(layout=extra-content-only) @title More examples @content

@slide(layout=extra-content-and-preview) @title Depicting boundaries @content The bounds of an integral can be enforced to appear above and below the integral symbol using the `\limits` command. This is the standard behaviour for sums, products and limits. ``` {.lang-tex .hljs} \sum_{i=1}^{n^2}(x+2) \prod_{j=1}^{100}(3 \cdot x) \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty}(14x^3 - 12) \int\limits_{-12}^{4}(14x^3 - 12) ```

Don't use `\limits` inline.

@preview ![](svg/chapter-09/limits-crop.svg) @slide(layout=extra-content-only) @title Set-builder notation @content In certain situations, it is more adequate to use textual predicates or long function names within the set builder notation. This is where `\text{}` comes into play.
