provides some useful math-commands which are simpler to use and +prettier then their standard LaTeX counterpart. + +<P> +In particular <A HREF="#SECTION03b">the ``<TT>\d</TT>'' command</A> is +redefined, so care should be taken, expecially when including this package +in an already existent LaTeX file. + +<P> +The original work of ``<TT>\d</TT>'' (i.e. place a dot under its argument) +is now done by the ``<TT>\UnderDot</TT>'' command. + +<H2> +<A NAME="SECTION02">The options</A> +</H2> + +<P> +At now, six options are available with the <TT>mathcmd</TT> package, which +comes out in matched pairs. + +<P> +The ``<TT>ThreeSubscrSum</TT>'' and ``<TT>TwoSubscrSum</TT>'' options control +the placement of subscripts for +<A HREF="#SECTION03c">the ``<TT>\Sum</TT>'' command</A>: the latter +(which is the default) puts the index under the simbol toghether with the +starting point, while the former puts the index on the lower right corner. + +<P> +The ``<TT>ProdVettWedge</TT>'' and ``<TT>ProdVettTimes</TT>'' options +select which symbol is to be used for the +<A HREF="#SECTION03f"><EM>vector product</EM></A>: the first one uses +a ``<TT>\wedge</TT>'' (default), whilst the second uses a ``<TT>\times</TT>". + +<P> +Finally, the ``<TT>VectOpStr</TT>'' and ``<TT>VectOpSymb</TT>'' options +controls whether the <A HREF="#SECTION03f">vector-operator commands</A> +``<TT>\Grad</TT>'', ``<TT>\Div</TT>'' and ``<TT>\Rot</TT>'' should produce +a roman string (default) or a ``<TT>\nabla</TT>" symbol followed by an +operator, respectively. + +<H2> +<A NAME="SECTION03">Math-mode commands</A> +</H2> + +<P> +The <TT>mathcmd</TT> package defines a number of math-mode commands. + +<H3> +<A NAME="SECTION03a">The <TT>text</TT> command</A> +</H3> + +<P> +The ``<TT>\text...</TT>'' command is defined to be equivalent to +``<TT>\mbox</TT>'' (except when the ``<TT>amstext</TT>" package is also used, +since this package already defines this command in a better way). + +<P> +It is intended for inserting pieces of text in a formula. + +<H3> +<A NAME="SECTION03b">Commands for doing integrals</A> +</H3> + +<P> +The ``<TT>\Int</TT>'' (capitalized) differs from the LaTeX command +``<TT>\int</TT>'' in that it is always printed in <TT>displaystyle</TT> and +if it has only a subscript, this is somewhat lowered so that it looks better. +<PRE> + \Int_{...}^{...} ... \d{...} +</PRE> + +<P> +The <A HREF="#SECTION01">``<TT>\d...</TT>'' command</A> is for making the +differential symbol at the end of integrals: it simply prints a ``<TT>d</TT>'' +followed by its argument and preceded by a little space, which seems prettier. + +<H3> +<A NAME="SECTION03c">Commands for making sums</A> +</H3> + +<P> +The ``<TT>\Sum{...=...,...}</TT>'' command works differently, depending on +which option between ``<A HREF="#SECTION02"><TT>TwoSubscrSum</TT></A>'' +(default) and ``<A HREF="#SECTION02"><TT>ThreeSubscrSum</TT></A>'' has been +specified. + +<P> +In the first case, it expands to +``<TT>\displaystyle\sum_{...}={...}^{...}</TT>'', whereas in the second +case the second and third argument are treated in the same way as before +(i.e. as a subscript and superscript, respectively), but the first argument +(the one before the ``='') is placed near the lower-left edge of the +``<TT>\sum</TT>'' symbol and the ``='' is not printed. + +<P> +There is also a ``<TT>\SUM...</TT>'' command which is useful when only a +subscript is desired, irrespectively of the option specified: in fact, it +is equivalent to ``<TT>\displaystyle\sum_...</TT>". + +<H3> +<A NAME="SECTION03d">Derivatives symbols</A> +</H3> + +<P> +The commands ``<TT>\DerTot{...}{...}</TT>'', ``<TT>\DerPar{...}{...}</TT>'' and +``<TT>\DerNorm{...}</TT>'' generate the symbols of total derivative, partial +derivative and normal derivative, respectively. + +<P> +In other words, they are the same as: +<PRE> + \displaystyle\frac{d...}{d...} + \displaystyle\frac{\partial ...}{\partial ...} + \displaystyle\frac{\partial ...}{\partial n} +</PRE> + +<H3> +<A NAME="SECTION03e">Arrow-limits commands</A> +</H3> + +<P> +The command ``<TT>\TendsTo[...,...]</TT>'' generates a right-arrow with +optionally an underscript wich is another smaller right-arrow between the +two comma-separeted arguments inside the square brackets. + +<P> +For example, the command ``<TT>f(x) \TendsTo[x,0] 1</TT>'' generates +the following output: +<PRE> + f(x) ----------> 1 + x --> 0 +</PRE> + +<H3> +<A NAME="SECTION03f">Vector-operators commands</A> +</H3> + +<P> +Finally, the commands ``<TT>\Grad</TT>'', ``<TT>\Div</TT>'' and +``<TT>\Rot</TT>'' generates the strings ``grad'', ``div'' and ``rot'' +in roman type and with small spaces added before and after, if the +``<A HREF="#SECTION02">VectOpStr</A>'' option is in effect (default). +If, instead, the option ``<A HREF="#SECTION02">VectOpSymb</A>'' was specified, +they generate ``<TT>\nabla</TT>", ``<TT>\nabla\cdot</TT>'' and +``<TT>\nabla\ProdVett</TT>'' respectively. + +<P> +The command ``<TT>\ProdVett</TT>'' is intended for making the symbol of +vector product, and evaluates to ``<TT>\times</TT>'' with the option +``<A HREF="#SECTION02">ProdVettTimes</A>'' and to ``<TT>\wedge</TT>'' +with the (default) option ``<A HREF="#SECTION02">ProdVettWedge</A>''. + +<HR><BR>
