<p>
 In a math environment,  LaTeX ignores  the spaces you type and puts in
 the spacing that it thinks is best.  LaTeX formats mathematics the way
 it's done in mathematics  texts.  If you want different spacing, LaTeX
 provides the following four commands for use in math mode:
<ul>
<li><a href="ltx-183.html"><tt>\;</tt></a> - a thick space
<li><a href="ltx-184.html"><tt>\:</tt></a>  - a medium space
<li><a href="ltx-185.html"><tt>\,</tt></a> - a thin space
<li><a href="ltx-186.html"><tt>\!</tt></a>  - a negative thin space
</ul>
