TeX - LaTeX Asked by PHỦ Đỗ Tường on March 22, 2021
I would like to write the following equation in LaTeX:
Here is my code:
begin{equation}
R = leftVertnormoverrightarrow{q_1c}rightVert=leftVertnormoverrightarrow{q_2c}rightVert
end{equation}
Although the result as my expectation, I meet the "Undefined control Sequence" error:
Could you help me fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.
You've been informed that norm
is an "undefined control sequence". You further mention, in a comment, that you load the amsmath
and amssymb
packages. (Aside: Since the amssymb
package loads the amsfonts
package automatically, you don't need to load the amsfonts
package explicitly.)
You have two main options:
Remove the two norm
directives from the code. And, while you're at it, do remove the left
and right
sizing directives as well, as they don't do anything here except create code clutter.
documentclass{article} % or some other suitable document class
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
usepackage{old-arrows} % optional (for smaller arrowheads)
begin{document}
begin{equation}
R = Vertoverrightarrow{q_1c}Vert = Vertoverrightarrow{q_2c}Vert
end{equation}
end{document}
Remove the leftVert
and rightVert
directives and define a macro called norm
. I'd like to suggest you load the mathtools
package -- a superset of the amsmath
package -- for its DeclarePairedDelimiter
macro to define norm
.
documentclass{article} % or some other suitable document class
usepackage{mathtools,amssymb}
DeclarePairedDelimiter{norm}{lVert}{rVert} % define a "norm" macro
usepackage{old-arrows} % optional (for smaller arrowheads)
begin{document}
begin{equation}
R = norm{overrightarrow{q_1c}} = norm{overrightarrow{q_2c}}
end{equation}
end{document}
With both approaches, you'll get the following output:
Of the two approaches, the second is definitely more "LaTeX-y" as the code (here: norm{...}
) emphasizes the meaning of what you're inputting. This conforms better to LaTeX's design philosophy of distinguishing as much as possible between higher-level meaning and lower-level typesetting aspects of the code.
