Math & Science ⇒ \newcommand help needed

[peaches2165]

I am typesetting a paper with

\newcommand[\cE}{\cal E}

when latex the paper, it give me an undefined control sequence. I am using other newcommands, but the above isn't working. I've even tried to put the straight {\cal E} and still get an error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

peaches

Hi peaches,

perhaps post a complete small example, which produces the error, and possibly your .log file. This small example works:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\cal E$
\end{document}

However, you could try

Code: Select all

$\mathcal{E}$

Hi,

Thanks for the help. The $\mathcal$ worked.
