Some useful $L a T e X$ code

Aligning and spacing

$\begin{matrix} 3 + x & = 4 & we are trying to solve for x \\ x & = 4 - 3 & Subtract 3 from both sides \\ x & = 1 & x must be one \end{matrix}$

Boundaries of integration

Standard way:

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- a x^{2}} d x = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{π}{a}} and ∭_{ℝ^{3}} ⟨ Ψ | Ψ ⟩ d x d y d z = 1

Preferred way:

\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sin x}{x} d x = \frac{π}{2} and \underset{ℝ^{3}}{∭} e^{- a (x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2})} d x d y d z = {(\frac{π}{a})}^{3 / 2}

Nice quotes

“

If you don't talk the way they understand, you'll not become their friend.

”

— Cédric Villani.^[1]

“

Rise above oneself and grasp the world.

”

— Attributed to Archimedes^[2]

“

I don't try to do very much that is obviously flashy. I try to focus on the fundamentals of the material. I very much enjoy trying to get a complete grasp of the subject I'm trying to teach so that I can present it in a clear, consistent and thorough way.

”

— Robert M. Wald^[3]
