Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Tilde over the letter

[lime]

In the math mode, is there a way to get large tilde over the letter? The problem is that the command
\tilde w
produces a small one.

For example for the line above, instead of small one
\bar w
I always use
\overline w
which produces much wider line.

Would be happy to know if there is such an alternative for tilde as well.

Note, that for all of these, it's advisable to put the argument inside braces, e.g., \bar{w}, \overline{w}, \tilde{w}. It's kind of an accident if it works the way you were doing it.

You probably want:

Code: Select all

\widetilde{w}
