a or b

  Whatever LaTeX does by default

  LaTeX: typically let software decide for me, override if it looks bad.

  Paper: Too shit at writing to make a consistent choice

  B. A only when there is little space

  • hihi24522@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Same, but there is never enough space

    Same. B if I’m feeling fancy, A if I’m trying to fit everything on one line.

  Are those called limits in English? How do you call those things then?

  lim x->0 1/x

    For integrals, we would say that “b and a are the limits of integration”.

    The notation “lim x->0 1/x” would be read as “the limit of 1 over x as x goes to zero.” In general, “lim” is short for “limit” of whatever follows it, with respect to what is below the “lim” symbol. Rarely, I have also seen the notation “l.i.m.” used for the limit in mean, i.e. the limit with respect to the L^2 norm.

    Also limits.

    I’ve always called them the bounds of integration but I’ve heard the term limits of integration too

  Better question: Where do you put the dx?

  source

  • Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    In front of the integral

    source
  • Mubelotix@jlai.lu ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    What? Where else would you put it?

    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Wherever you want it baby

      Immediately after the integral symbol, before the integrand, is also common: math.stackexchange.com/…/notational-position-of-d…

      It has a nice “operator” look this way.

  A fits on paper much better than B, especially when you try to write as small as possible to fit all of your work on one line

• Lenins_Cat_Reincarnated@hexbear.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Depends on if the integral is integrated in the text or if it gets its own area

  The kerning on Latex integrals has always bothered me. The f(x) could move a LOT further to the left!

  Out of these? I’m team Blue.

  But really, I’m team Green. b goes more or less in the place Red shows it (or maybe halfway between where Red and Blue show it), but a goes to the left of the integration symbol, mirroring where the b goes relative to the curve at the end of the ∫

  (a, b)

  • PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Best answer, although I work with delta “functions” a lot so I actually have to be careful picking which interval with boundary {a,b} to pick (for example, if I integrated δ(t-a)+δ(t-b) over all t in (a,b), I’d get 0, but if I integrated those deltas over (a,b] I’d get 1, and integrating over [a,b] would give 2).

  A, B takes too much space

  source
• oxideseven@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  a sits on the dooblydoo on the left, b hangs from the dooblydoo on the right.

  I’m so indefinite, I don’t respect limits.

  Whatever latex does for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Depends on if I accidentally wrote the function too large

  A gang. Does that mean I am old?

• Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  If a and b are simply numbers or variables (ex. 1, 2π, x), either, maybe red.

  If a or b is a function (ex. (x + y), (1/N), (z - r²)), then blue.

  Always A. Except when I’m drunk.
