Some Examples of Equation-Writing in L TEX

This document provides examples of how to write various types of equations in LaTeX. It demonstrates how to write simple single-line equations, multi-line equations, systems of equations, partial differential equations, equations with text, and matrices. For numbered equations, the begin{equation} and end{equation} commands are used. Various LaTeX packages like amsmath can be included to write matrices and other mathematical expressions. Overall, the document serves as a reference for writing different kinds of mathematical equations in LaTeX.

1 Writing a Simple Equation
To display an unnumbered equation on a new line, just type: \[ x = 2x - 3. \].
This will display as:
x

= 2x 3.
If we want to get a numbered equation, we must type:
\begin{equation}
x = 2x - 3.
\end\{equation}
This will display as:
x

= 2x 3. (1)
Now, suppose we want to write a dierential equation in another form. Try
\[ \frac{dy}{dt} = 2y + 8.\]. This displays as:
dy
dt
= 2y + 8.
or, we may write $$ y_t = 2y + 8.$$:
y
t
= 2y + 8.
Now, suppose we have a partial dierential equation. To write it with the
partial derivatives, we just do:
$$\frac{\partial^2 u\}{\partial^2 x} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial^2 y} = 0.$$
This displays as:

2
u

2
x
+

2
u

2
y
= 0.
Or, we may write \[ u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0.\], which displays as:
u
xx
+ u
yy
= 0.
1
To add text to an equation do, for example:
\[ y=mx+b, \$text{ where $m$ is the slope, } x \in (-\infty, \infty). \].
This displays as:
y = mx + b, where m is the slope, x (, ).
Note: You need to have included the amstext package at the beginning of the
document (after the \documentclass command.)
If we want to write an equation with a two-line right-hand-side,
y(0) =
_
1 if x 0,
1 if x > 0.
(2)
To write several equations together, we do the following:
u
t
+ u
x
= 0
u(x, 0) =
_
1 if x 0,
1 if x > 0.

2 More complicated expressions
Here is one way we would write a matrix (using the array command and speci-
fying spacing): A =

Alternately, we may use the pmatrix command, which we can use if we add
\usepackage{amsmath} to the preamble.
To write a system of equations with a left brace, we may do the following:
_

_
x

= 3x 2y + 3xy,
y

= 2x 3y 2xy,
x(0) = 0,
y(0) = 1
