Equations Size

Post by s.david »

Hello,

How can I control the size of the following equation:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
  \begin{equation}
  F_{\gamma_{\text{r}_1}}(\gamma)=\,1-\left(\frac{2\,\gamma}{\sqrt{\rho}}\right)\,
  \text{e}^{-\gamma\,\sigma/\rho}\,K_1\left(\frac{2\,\gamma}{\sqrt{\rho}}\right)
  \end{equation}
\end{document}
wether I need it larger or smaller.

Thanks in advance

According switches for font sizes right before and behind the equation environment will do.

I tried this previousely, but then, the first word after the equation is not properly aligned. See the following code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\noindent The following equation is the .... {\small
  \begin{equation}
  F_{\gamma_{\text{r}_1}}(\gamma)=\,1-\left(\frac{2\,\gamma}{\sqrt{\rho}}\right)\,
  \text{e}^{-\gamma\,\sigma/\rho}\,K_1\left(\frac{2\,\gamma}{\sqrt{\rho}}\right)
  \end{equation}}
  where ...
\end{document}

That's why I said »switches before and behind« the environment.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,openany,oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
  \noindent The following equation is the ...
  \small
  \begin{equation}
    F_{\gamma_{\text{r}_1}}(\gamma)=\,1-\left(\frac{2\,\gamma}{\sqrt{\rho}}\right)\,
    \text{e}^{-\gamma\,\sigma/\rho}\,K_1\left(\frac{2\,\gamma}{\sqrt{\rho}}\right)
  \end{equation}
  \normalsize
  where ...
\end{document}

Ok, I see. I did it in a wrong way. Thanks
