Basic examples

Some basic examples of math notation. Remember to place the math markup within

{$ ... $}

For example, the math markup x=y^2 should really be entered as

{$
x=y^2$}

Example	Result	Source markup
Superscript	{$ x^2 + y^2 = z^2 $}	`x^2 + y^2 = z^2`
Complicated superscript	{$e^{2\pi i} $}	`e^{2\pi i}`
Subscript	{$ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 $}	`x_1 + x_2 + x_3`
Fraction	{$ \frac a b = \frac {x+y} {x-y} $}	`\frac a b = \frac {x+y} {x-y}`
Sum	{$ \Bigsum_{n=0}^N x_n $}	`\Bigsum_{n=0}^N x_n`
Parenthesis	{$ $1+\frac A B$^n $}	`$1+\frac A B$^n`
Square root	{$ \sqrt x = \sqrt{a+b} $}	`\sqrt x = \sqrt{a+b}`
Greek	{$ \alpha, \beta, \gamma $}	`{\alpha, \beta, \gamma`
Small space	{$ a\,b = a b $}	`a\,b = a b`
Horisontal space	{$ a\hspace{10}b $}	`a\hspace{10}b`
Matrix	{$ $ \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} $ $}	`$ \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} $`
Square matrix	{$ \[ \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} \] $}	`\[ \array{cc$ 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 3} \]`

Space examples

Various horizontal spaces, remember to place the math markup within {$ ... $}.

Example	Result	Math markup
Negative space	{$ a\!b $}	`a\!b`
Thin space	{$ a\,b $}	`a\,b`
Medium space	{$ a\:b $}	`a\:b`
Thick space	{$ a\;b $}	`a\;b`
Quadratin space	{$ a\quad b $}	`a\quad b`
Double quadratin space	{$ a\qquad b $}	`a\qquad b`
"hspace{5}"	{$ a\hspace{5}b $}	`a\hspace{5}b`
"hspace{10"	{$ a\hspace{20}b $}	`a\hspace{20}b`

Delimiter examples

Note that the delimiters in the examples will automatically scale to fit whatever they surround. Various horizontal spaces, remember to place the math markup within {$ ... $}.

Example	{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}	Math markup
Parenthesis	{$\left( A \right)$}	`\left( A \right)`
Curly braces	{$\left{ A \right}$}	`\left{ A \right}`
Square braces	{$\left[ A \right]$}	`\left[ A \right]`
Angle braces	{$\left\langle A \right\rangle$}	`\left\langle A \right\rangle \`
Bars	{$\left\| A \right\|$}	`\left\| A \right\|`
Double bars	{$\left\\| A \right\\|$}	`\left\\| A \right\\|`
Asymetric	{$\left( A \right.$}	`\left( A \right.`
Asymetric	{$\left. A \right)$}	`\left. A \right)`

MimeTeX also allows you to use the following shorthand:

Example	{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}	Math markup
Parenthesis	{$$ A $$}	`$ A $`
Curly braces	{$\{ A \}$}	`\{ A \}`
Square braces	{$\[ A \] $}	`\[ A \]`
Angle braces	{$\< A \> $}	`\< A \>`
Bars	{$\\| A \\| $}	`\\| A \\|`
Double bars	{$\= A \= $}	`\= A \=`

This

{$ y = \{{\text{this} \atop \text{that}}\. $}

was created by the following math markup:

y = \{{\text{this} \atop \text{that}}\.

Text examples

Some different symbol sets and fonts:

Example	{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}	Math markup
Normal math font	{$ R $}	`R`
Roman font	{$ \textrm{R} $}	`\textrm{R}`
Blackboard font	{$ \mathbb{R} $}	`\mathbb{R}`
Calligraphic font	{$ \cal{R} $}	`\cal{R}`
Script? font	{$ \scr{R} $}	`\scr{R}`
..	{$ Some text $}	{@Some text@]
Text	{$\text{Some text}$}	`\text{Some text}`
Italic text ?	{$\textit{Some text}$}	`\textit{Some text}`
Roman math text	{$\textrm{Some text}$}	`\textrm{Some text}`

This example

{$ f(x) \: = \: \textrm{An unknown function} $}

was generated by the following math markup:

f(x) \: = \: \textrm{An unknown function}

Accents (decorations)

Example	{$\hspace{20}$}Result{$\hspace{20}$}	Math markup
Vector	{$\vec v$}	`\vec v`
Vector	{$\hat v$}	`\hat v`
Vector	{$\bar v$}	`\bar v`
Vector	{$\tilde v$}	`\tilde v`
Vector	{$\dot v$}	`\dot v`
Vector	{$\ddot v$}	`\ddot v`
