A two line curly brackets ...

Post by helllo »

Hi guys,
I'm trying to type a two line equation with one curly bracket on the left (if this makes sence :geek: ).
Anyone knows how to do it ?
Thanks you :)

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

Hi,

use the cases environment from amsmath:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation*}
  \text{Maxwell's equations}\quad
  \begin{cases}
    B'&=-\partial\times E,\\
    E'&=\partial\times B - 4\pi j.
  \end{cases}
\end{equation*}

\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
