Thanks. I didn't follow everything at the link, but when I adjusted some text the whole thing sorted itself, presumably because there was more than just the two figures on a page.

I still think my coding is probably ugly and inefficient, but at least I've got the desired result!

The following code appears o give me what I am looking for (ie two diagrams with some brief blurb to the right) although I suspect it is heavy-handed and there is probably a better way of handling it. However, I can't see how to get rid of the gigantic vertical space between the diagrams. In fact I ...

Thanks: I have the user manual but didn't see this as I didn't think of looking for "clip" (which I don't completely follow). After a bit of messing about I've used the following code. It works (ie both circles are visible), but seems a bit clumsy. Can it be written more efficiently ...

I'm using tikz and for self-tutorials I'm trying to reproduce some diagrams. Here I want to shade just the intersection of the two circles. How do I do that?


\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside, leqno]{report}
%\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
%\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage ...

Thanks, that works a treat and I can even understand the coding. I'll look out tikz for circles and stuff now... now that I know where to look

I'm teaching myself how to typeset maths; I've made good progress with symbols, equations etc using amsmath, but now I want to draw a simple diagram - a triangle with vertices A,B and C and opposite sides a, b and c. I'm not quite sure where to start. I'd appreciate some guidance on what package to ...

Thank you kindly - that's saved me tearing more hair out

I'm sure I read somewhere that if you are putting an equation or formula inline rather than display, there's a way of improving the symbols so that they look more like the display versions even though they're inline. If you see what I mean.

I've been hunting around and now I can't find this option ...

Stefan

Thank you very much. I think I get most of that!

I've realised that I'm going to need to number some equations (actually, answers to questions) as question parts - eg 3.1(a), 3.1(b) etc. So I think I'm going to have to create a sub-subsection for the particular question, and use the same ...

I've just lifted and slightly amended some code from a previous post which numbers some equations the way I want them to. It goes like this.

\subsection*{Exercise 1}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{1.\arabic{equation}}
\begin{equation}
a
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
b
\end{equation}

\subsection ...
