Those who use LaTeX for their documentation related works, usually are from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) background. These people use equations more often than not. Therefore, I will introduce how to write equations in LaTeX today.
In this tutorial we will go over following features:
In this tutorial we will go over following features:
- Latex amsmath package
- Latex equation environment
- Using Simple equations like x = y + z
- Using Summation in equations
- Using Integration in equations
- Using Cases in equation (if condition based values of a variable)
- Using fractions to write multiple-row equations
Watch the following video to learn how to do these things:
The code used in this Video can be found below:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
\title{Writing Equations with Latex by http://QuickLatex.blogspot.com}
\maketitle
\begin{equation}
%x = y + z
%f(x) = x ^ 2
%f(x) = x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + ......+ x_n
%f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} {x_i}
%f(x) = \int_{i=1}^{n}{x_i}
%X=
%\begin{cases}
%5, \text{if X is divisible by 5}
%\\
%10, \text {if X is divisible by 10}
%\\
%-1, \text {otherwise}
%\end{cases}
X =
\frac{\substack{\sum_{i=1}^{n} {x_i}}}
{\substack{\sum_{i=20}^{50} {x_i}}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
why exactly do you use \usepackage{amssymb}? is it useful to load it always with \usepackage{amsmath}?
ReplyDeleteand do you know, how to create chemical structures? that would be really great!
Dear Julia,
DeletePackage amsmath is used for additional mathematical symbols which are not there by default.
I will try to do some chemical symbols soon.

How do we use the latex templates and styles? For instance, I have downloaded siamltex.cls and copied it to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\ltxmisc and ran texhash. Still I get the error "! LaTeX Error: File `siamltex.cls' not found." Any pointers?
