| |
− | | Welcome to this '''spoken tutorial''' on '''Mathematical Typesetting''' in '''LaTeX'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:06
| |
− | |My name is Kannan Moudgalya.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:08
| |
− | | A reminder: we should call it LaTeX and not latex.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:15
| |
− | | In this tutorial, we will learn how to create mathematical symbols in '''LaTeX'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:20
| |
− | | In particular, How to get into and leave from the mathematical mode the role of spaces and creating them Mathematical symbols
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:31
| |
− | | Finally, '''A M S math package''' and its use in creating '''matrices'''
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:37
| |
− | | I am creating this tutorial on our less than 10,000 Rupee laptop.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:43
| |
− | |I am using '''Ubuntu, TeXworks''', and '''LaTeX.'''
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:46
| |
− | | The prerequisites are the following Basic spoken tutorials on '''LaTeX.'''
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:53
| |
− | | Exposure to the '''side-by-side '''tutorial.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 00:56
| |
− | | All are available from our website.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:00
| |
− | | I shall use the file '''maths.tex'''
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:04
| |
− | |It is available as a code file, in our web page, where you found this tutorial
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:10
| |
− | |In the same location, you will find this '''pdf''' file from the '''TeX user group, India'''
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:17
| |
− | | We shall use it when we do assignments
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:20
| |
− | | Let me go to the '''‘TeXworks’''' window.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:23
| |
− | | Go to TeXworks, opened in 600x400, with maths.tex read in
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:25
| |
− | | I have already opened the file '''maths.tex'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:27
| |
− | |Please download this file and practise along with me.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:32
| |
− | | We have already seen the commands that are at the top of this file.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:36
| |
− | |This command removes the paragraph indent.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:42
| |
− | |We will study the effect of this statement through an assignment.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:46
| |
− | |Let us start with Greek symbols that are used in mathematics.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:52
| |
− | | We use '''dollar''' sign to get into mathematical mode in '''LaTeX'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 01:56
| |
− | | Let us begin with '''alpha''' We write '''$ back slash alpha $'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 02:06
| |
− | | Let us compile and see that we get the Greek letter '''alpha''' in the '''pdf'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 02:14
| |
− | |The first dollar says that we are getting into the mathematical mode.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |02:20
| |
− | |The second dollar says that we are leaving this mode.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 02:24
| |
− | | From now on, I will not explicitly mention dollar or the back slash.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |02:29
| |
− | |But you have to do exactly what you see on the screen.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 02:34
| |
− | | Similarly we write '''beta, gamma,''' and '''delta'''. That is compile
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |02:50
| |
− | |I did not save the '''tex''' file, as '''TeXworks''' does it automatically.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 02:56
| |
− | | Let us delete these.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 03:00
| |
− | | We will next take up the concept of spaces in mathematical expressions.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:05
| |
− | |How do we generate '''alpha a'''? That is, the product of '''alpha''' and '''a''' Let us try '''alpha a'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 03:17
| |
− | |Let me compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:21
| |
− | |'''LaTeX''' complains that '''alpha''' a is an undefined control sequence.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:27
| |
− | |It says that it does not understand this command let me close this.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:34
| |
− | |'''LaTeX''' handles this through a '''space''' after every command.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:39
| |
− | |Let us leave a '''space''' after '''alpha'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:44
| |
− | |Let us abort the compilation let us recompile this has solved the problem.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |03:52
| |
− | |As it is used to terminate a command, the '''space''' does not appear in '''pdf'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 03:57
| |
− | | What do we do if we WANT to introduce '''spaces''' in the output?
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:03
| |
− | |We have to explicitly tell '''LaTeX''', as we do now.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:07
| |
− | |Let us ask '''LaTeX''' to start a new line.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:11
| |
− | |Let us write '''alpha backslash space a'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 04:17
| |
− | |Compile it.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:20
| |
− | |This has created a '''space'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 04:23
| |
− | |If you want more '''space''', use '''quad''', as we do now
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:31
| |
− | |Compile it.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:34
| |
− | |You can see that '''quad''' has left a large '''space'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 04:40
| |
− | | We will now move to another topic.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:43
| |
− | | Let us delete the last two lines let’s compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:50
| |
− | |What happens to the font when we go from the text to the mathematical mode?
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |04:56
| |
− | |To understand this, let us write '''“Product of $\alpha and a is”''' Compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |05:07
| |
− | | You can see that the font of these two '''a''''s are different.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 05:14
| |
− | | This is solved by writing this ''''a'''' also inside '''dollar''' signs
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |05:25
| |
− | |Make Compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 05:27
| |
− | | Now the fonts of these of two '''a'''’s are identical.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |05:32
| |
− | |Not keeping the font of variables identical is a common mistake.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 05:37
| |
− | | Let’s get rid of these.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |05:40
| |
− | |Let’s compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 05:43
| |
− | | Let us now discuss a rule for creating '''minus''' signs.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |05:48
| |
− | |Suppose that we want to create '''minus alpha''' and compile
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |05:58
| |
− | |Let’s compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |06:01
| |
− | |Notice that the minus sign appears as a small dash here.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 06:07
| |
− | | Let us also copy, with the '''minus''' sign inside the '''dollar''' sign.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |06:15
| |
− | |Let us compile again.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 06:18
| |
− | | See the difference in the '''minus''' sign now the second one is what we need the dash is not to be used.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |06:27
| |
− | |Not putting the '''minus''' sign within '''dollars''' is a common mistake made by beginners.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 06:33
| |
− | | Let us delete all of these.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 06:36
| |
− | | Next we would like to explain the ''''frac'''' command that is used to create fractions.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 06:43
| |
− | | \frac a b lets compile
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 06:50
| |
− | |It generates ''''a by b'''' the command ''''frac'''' is terminated by a '''space''' it looks for two '''arguments'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:00
| |
− | |The first character ''''a'''' is taken as the first '''argument''' It becomes the numerator
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:07
| |
− | |The second character ''''b'''' is taken as the second '''argument''' it becomes the denominator.
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:13
| |
− | |Notice that the size of '''a''' and '''b''' gets reduced automatically.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:19
| |
− | |What do we do if we have longer characters?
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 07:24
| |
− | | What if we want to create '''ab''' by '''cd''' i want you to try this.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 07:31
| |
− | | In '''LaTeX''', the '''arguments''' longer than one character are enclosed by braces.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:36
| |
− | |For example, let us put braces here.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:41
| |
− | |When we compile THIS, we get the desired output.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:47
| |
− | |All the entries within the braces are taken as a single '''argument'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | |07:52
| |
− | |As a result, one can enter any complicated expression within braces let us delete all of these.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:01
| |
− | | Now we will look at subscripts and superscripts.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:05
| |
− | |''''x' underscore 'a'''' creates ''''x sub a''''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:14
| |
− | | The size of ''''a'''' gets automatically reduced to an appropriate level.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:19
| |
− | |What if we want to put '''ab''' as the subscript? you have to use braces try it yourself.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:28
| |
− | | Superscripts are created by the '''caret''' or the '''up arrow''' symbol.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:33
| |
− | |For example, if you want to create ''''x'''' to the power 3, you will write: '''x up arrow 3'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:43
| |
− | | We can also put subscripts and superscripts simultaneously.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:48
| |
− | |Let us put '''x sub a superscript b''' let’s compile.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 08:58
| |
− | |Once again, using braces, we can produce complicated subscripts and superscripts let me delete this.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:08
| |
− | | Alright, next we will move onto '''Matrices'''.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:12
| |
− | |The package '''a m s math''' has some '''matrix''' definitions that I like let us include it through the '''usepackage''' command.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:26
| |
− | | The '''ampersand''', that is the ''''and'''' symbol, is used to separate the columns leet us create a matrix now.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:34
| |
− | |We write '''begin matrix''' '''a''' and '''b''', '''end matrix''' don’t forget the '''dollar''' signs.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:44
| |
− | | Compile and see the matrix, as expected.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:49
| |
− | |Now suppose, we want to add a second row to this we put two '''back slash'''es, meaning, go to the next line.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 09:59
| |
− | |Suppose that we want three entries in the second row, say, '''c, d, e''' compile it and see the second row also included now.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 10:11
| |
− | |Supposing we change matrix to '''pmatrix''', at begin and end.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 10:17
| |
− | |Compile and get this.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 10:21
| |
− | |It is now time for YOU to start exploring let us go to the slides now.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 10:28
| |
− | | Let us summarise what we learnt in this tutorial entering and leaving the mathematical mode using spaces and creating them
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 10:37
| |
− | |Fractions, subscripts and superscripts defining an argument with in braces '''amsmath''' package to create matrices
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 10:48
| |
− | | Let me give some assignments.

| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 11:01
| |
− | | This assignment is on fractions using braces this assignment is on subscripts and superscripts.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 11:11
| |
− | | Through this assignment, we shall learn a few more methods to create matrices.
| |
− |
| |
− | |-
| |
− | | 11:16
| |
− | | This assignment is on creating more mathematical symbols this is based on the '''TUG India LaTeX''' guide.
| |
