Text Formatting ⇒ Equation Alignment at equal Signs

[chrisr34000]

Hi!

I want to align equations by equal signs.

I'm having this code for instance

Code: Select all

\begin{align*}

$\psi(u,\ 1)\ =\ P(R_{1}>u)$


$=\ P(Z_{1}>u)$


$=\ P(e^{\nu Z_{1}}>e^{\nu u})$
\end{align*}

This produces:

current.png (3.31 KiB) Viewed 3174 times

I want the end result to be:

wanted.png (3.63 KiB) Viewed 3174 times

How can I achieve this?

Hi,

use align* this way, marking alignment points by &:

Code: Select all

\begin{align*}
  \psi(u,\ 1) &= P(R_{1}>u) \\
  &=\ P(Z_{1} > u) \\
  &=\ P(e^{\nu Z_{1}} > e^{\nu u})
\end{align*}

Worked great, thanks!
