Set Up Equation Permit For Free

There are a few ways to enter math mode, however the most common is $.... $, where the text within the dollar signs is in the math mode environment. You have already been using math mode unknowingly by using the \begin{equation} and \end{equation} commands.

The eqnarray environment lets you align equations so that, for example, all of the equals signs "=" line up. To do this, put ampersand "&" signs around the text you want LaTeX to align, e.g. Each equation can be labelled separately, just put the label command after the relevant equation.

LaTeX does have built-in commands for changing the typeset alignment of text: ragged-right ( \raggedright ) ragged-left ( \raggedleft ) centred ( \centering )

Basic Steps to Setting Up Equations Determine what the question is asking. Write down the relevant information in simple statements. Assign symbols to unknown values that need to be found. Determine how the statements relate to each other mathematically.

Inside the equation environment, use the split environment to split the equations into smaller pieces, these smaller pieces will be aligned ingly. The double backslash works as a newline character. Use the ampersand character & , to set the points where the equations are vertically aligned.

Just put \begin{center} when you want to start centering, and \end{center} when you want to stop centering. (If you want to center everything until the end of the document, you still need an \end{center} before the \end{document} at the end of the source file.
