How to left justify equations

Post by hooman »

Hi,

I am writing a report in which I have very long equations (3 lines ,etc) and so I need to somehow make them look nicer. At the moment my equations are in the middle by default and now I am wondering if it would be possible to left-justify them? All my equations and equations arrays are numbered.

Many Thanks!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. 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,

go to the document settings and choose the class option fleqn. This means flush left equations.

Hi,

I'm using Lyx 1.6.5 and I don't have this document class. Will I be able to find this if I installed a different version?

Thanks again!
