Putting Brackets around fractions

Post by Noobix Cube »

I can't seem to make the brackets cover the full fraction when stating a differential, namely

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
  (\frac{df}{dt})
\end{equation}
Any tips?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

You can do the following:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
   \left(\frac{df}{dt}\right)
\end{equation}

If you have to handle many of those derivatives in your document, you should take a look at the esdiff package.
