[comp.text.tex] Misc. math constructs in LaTeX - questions

bxi@po.CWRU.Edu (Bruce Ikenaga) (03/06/91)

   A colleague of mine would like to know how to do the
following things in LaTeX. I use Plain TeX myself, and
don't know anything about LaTeX. I've given the plain TeX
source which does the things he wants to do.

% ----------
    
\def\blank{\vskip 8pt}

Here is an attempt at a display:
${\int \int \cdots \int} \atop
      {  {\scriptstyle x_1 + \ldots + x_n \le 1} \atop
         {\scriptstyle x_1 \ge 0} } $
This should have come out in the middle of a sentence. Did it?
\blank

Next, we'll try to display it:
\blank
$$
{\displaystyle \int \int \cdots \int} \atop
      {  {\scriptstyle x_1 + \ldots + x_n \le 1} \atop
         {\scriptstyle x_1 \ge 0} }
$$
\blank

Here is something else: $\max_{ {1 \le i \le n} \atop
{1 \le j \le n} } f(i,j) = 4$. Did it work?
\blank

Now we'll display it:
$$
\max_{ {1 \le i \le n} \atop
{1 \le j \le n} } f(i,j) = 4
$$


What about binomial coefficients on top of sums?
$$\sum_{i=0}^{n \choose k} {{n + 2} \choose i}\ x^i y^{n-i}$$
\blank

Simply prepend:

\documentstyle{book}
\begin{document}

and append:
\end{document}

No other changes need be made, so far as I can see. However, there are a 
number of optional changes you could make if you prefer LaTeX's markup:
$...$ -> \(...\) and $$...$$ -> \[...\]; don't use \blank, etc.
