Hello,

How can I enlarge the integral sign only? Because it seems small relative to the integrand.

Regards

Please get used to providing a minimal working example (MWE) for future requests. In this case there are several possible solutions for your problem.

Best regards
Thorsten

Dear localghost,

My question is very clear, and does not need any example. All I want to do is to control the size/tall of the integral sign, for which I am using the control sequence \int_{}^{}. If you know how to do this, tell me, and I am appretiating it.

Regards

No, your question is not clear as is, and seeing what context your integral sign appears in is necessary for trying to answer your question.

Compare, e.g., the difference between the integral sign as it appears in in-paragraph math mode:

$\int_x^y$

And the same when it appears in a displayed equation:

\[ \int_x^y \]

The latter is much bigger. What exactly is the hesitation to provide a MWE?

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
\int_0^{\infty}\frac{(\lambda_1+1)^{N_A}}{\lambda_1^m}\d\lambda_1
\end{equation}

I earnestly wonder what keeps you from providing a complete and compilable MWE as requested earlier. A link where to find detailed instructions has already been given. Your refusal lets me assume that you are not interested in a quick solution. And I'm not willing to take part in a quiz any more.

Inserting this code snippet into one of my documents reveals no problems in the size of the integral symbol. But it is very likely that my document setup differs from yours. With this poor information I can't comprehend the problem. As long as this status doesn't change, I see myself incapable to give useful help. Sorry for that.
