General ⇒ Spacig between lines of equations in the aligned env

[dmt]

Is there a simple way to increase the spacing between lines of equations in the aligned environment?

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, fleqn]{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}


\title{Lösningsförslag till några problem på s.179}
\date{}
\author{}
\topmargin -1.0cm
\textheight 23.7cm
\oddsidemargin -0.5cm
\evensidemargin -0.5cm
\textwidth 17cm

\[\begin{aligned}[t]
\frac{1}{1-\sin v}+\frac{1}{1+\sin v} &= \frac{2}{\cos^2 v} \\
\frac{1+\sin v}{1-\sin v}+\frac{1+\sin v}{1+\sin v} &= \frac{2(1+\sin v)}{\cos^2 v} \\
\frac{1+\sin v}{1-\sin v}+1 &= \frac{2(1+\sin v)}{\cos^2 v} \\
1+\sin v+1-\sin v &= \frac{2(1+\sin v)(1-\sin v)}{\cos^2 v} \\
2 &= \frac{2(1-\sin^2v)}{\cos^2v} \\
2 &= 2
\end{aligned}\]

Yes. You simply apply an argument to \\ i order to specify the spacing between each line. Here's an example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{1-\sin v}+\frac{1}{1+\sin v} &= \frac{2}{\cos^2 v} \\[10mm]
\frac{1+\sin v}{1-\sin v}+\frac{1+\sin v}{1+\sin v} &= \frac{2(1+\sin v)}{\cos^2 v} \\[7mm]
\frac{1+\sin v}{1-\sin v}+1 &= \frac{2(1+\sin v)}{\cos^2 v} \\[34mm]
1+\sin v+1-\sin v &= \frac{2(1+\sin v)(1-\sin v)}{\cos^2 v} \\[2mm]
2 &= \frac{2(1-\sin^2v)}{\cos^2v} \\[11mm]
2 &= 2
\end{aligned}

\end{document}

Thanks. Is that how much space it adds to each line, or does that replace the default (in case the default has been reset)?

Is there a way to reset the default globally?

(1) This replaces the default space.
(2) I don't know--sorry!

Hi dmt,

you may change the length \jot, e.g.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\jot}{10pt}

Thanks, that was just what I was looking for.
