Re: big cartesian product

Hey!
At last I've been able to use the ifsym package. Unfortunately, as the symbols are geometric ones, I can't use them as mathematical ones, i.e. I can't add indexes exactly below und over the symbol. Any other ides where to get such a cross symbol? I thought that this should be a standard symbol ...

Re: big cartesian product

Hey!
I've just found out, that the package ifsym has already been installed. I checked it in the MikTex Package Manager. I also load the package in the pramble by \usepackage {ifsym}. Nevertheless the commands \Cross and \BigCross don't work.
Do you have any idea why?

Re: big cartesian product

Hey Stefan,
Thank you for your quick answer! Obviously I'm not an expert using LaTeX... Can you tell me how to download the ifsym package, respectively where I have to safe it? I tried it in the font folder, but it didn't work. The cross symbols you mentioned seem to be exactly what I need.

big cartesian product

Hey everybody!
I want to illustrate a big cartesian product of sets. Is there a big version of the \times symbol for which indexes can be used? I don't want to use the \prod symbol, because in my math lectures we always use the cross symbol. Can somebody help me?
