LaTeX: vector-enter - here's how
To improve readability, for example, in mathematics-forums, is often used a LaTeX-based System for formulas. In the text of the Text of the LaTeX, you can insert in the math-area vectors in the text. What are the commands you need to use exactly for creating a simple vector, we will show you here:
- Make sure that you type in your vector between "\[" and "\]" in the text.
- In General, tables are implemented in LaTeX with "\begin{array}{c} table text \end{array}". "c" specifies the column format. For two columns, write "cc" for three "ccc", etc. With the help of the "\left" and "\right", you can create any kind of vectors and matrices.
- "\vec{v} = \left( \begin{array}{c} x \\\ y \\\ z \\\ \end{array}\right)" creates a single-column vector with three elements.
- Alternatively, the command \vec{v} = \begin{pmatrix}x \\\ y \\\ z \end{pmatrix} is the vector input is possible. You need the "amsmath" LaTeX package for it.
