[LaTeX Error: Syntax error]
anybody know how to get the curly brackets {} to show, within:
\left{ \frac{1}{2} \right} for example |

[math]\left\{ \frac{1}{2} \right\}[/math], which gives us 
OR
[math]\{ \frac{1}{2} \}[/math], which gives us 
Note the difference between these. The first one looks better...the second one seems odd....

--Chris | Better still (in my opinion), do
[math]\left\{ \tfrac{1}{2} \right\}[/math], which gives us 
The textstyle fractions usually (not always) look better than displaystyle when dealing with single-digit numbers in the fraction. | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Opalg For This Useful Post: | | |

Still better :
[math]\left\{\tfrac12\right\}[/math]   (that was the lazy way)

Hehe, how would i get a left bracket first to indicate an equation system, (or congruence system if you like) | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
