Hi,
when i have multiple tables together the spacing between them is large and takes up unnecessary room. I have 5 tables which span the entire width and are one ontop of the other. If i was to put these tables into word they would fit into the one page. However, on latex the are spread over...
Hello guys, I'm trying to get some horizontal spacing into my text. I want to do this because I basically want to write a pseudo-code in my text, so I need every loop to start a bit further away from the beginning of the page than the previous one. I've tried \hspace, but it does not seem to...

Does anyone know a way to get half-vertical lines? I mean, I'd like something identical to /vline , but which starts from the top of the row and only goes halfway down. Similarly, I'd like a line which starts from the bottom and only goes halfway up.

I'm hoping someone can help me with the following problem. I have a .p file for generating a .eps file using gnuplot. I want both the y-axis label and the y-axis tics to be formatted using LaTeX. Getting this done is no problem. The problem I am having is that having both of these options...

I'm trying to make a flipbook in the upper right of my thesis. I have already written it using a certain class (this class) and have tried to add the flipbook package.

So, I have this equation:
^{137}_{55}Cs \rightarrow ^{137}_{56}Ba + e^- + \bar{\nu}_e
What I don't like about it is that both 55 and 56 are left aligned and there is a gap between numbers and Ba symbol. I guess I could try to hand align them using spaces and negative spaces, but I also...
I have a fraction in the denominator of another fraction, and I'm trying to put a set of brackets around it. However, I can't seem to get them to size properly. Example below:

Does anyone know how to do box notation in Latex, I've got this:
Li \quad \boxed{\uparrow \downarrow} \quad \boxed{\uparrow\;} \qquad
1s 2s
But I want the quantum states to appear underneath their respective boxes?
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{4} &< (1 - u)^2 + \left(v + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2\notag\\
\frac{1}{4} &< (1 - u)^2 + \left(v - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2\notag
\end{align}
How can I make this on the complex plane with the appropriate area shaded?
u is the real axis and v the imaginary
Hello PF,
I am using MiKTex and TeXnicCenter for writing my Thesis Report. I want to add images (.jpg or .eps format) into the report.

Hello,
I'm just wondering is it possible to put the units of a parameter underneath it rather than next to it. My table is pretty long and I could free up space if I could do this.
For example, let's say I have Velocity (m/s)
I want it to have (m/s) below velocity
I can't figure out how to...
In the past few weeks, I have occasional trouble with my latex expressions (using the itex tag) running over the text that follows them. I also see this in some posts by others. Is there a good way to avoid this? Is it a browser specific problem? ( Mozilla and Firefox are mine.)

Hello,
I've recently been asked to submit my assignments using LaTeX and its really time consuming to have to type \begin{math} \end{math} every time I need to switch between English and math symbols.

Is it possible to only show section numbers without chapter numbers in a LaTeX document of class "book"? For instance, Munkres' Topology text breaks things down into chapters but the sections are numbered independent of the chapter. For instance, Sections 1-11 are in Chapter 1, 12-22 in Chapter...

I am sorry guys - I don't have privileges to post in other sections of this forum.
I am looking for a Latex program that shows the result of the code in real time so that I don't have to create a pdf every time I need to see if my code was correct.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
It's strange no one has noticed but after reading through the Mathjax documentation guide, all you have to do to view the source code is right click over any Mathjax image and click "Show Source". A new window will pop up with the Latex code.
