Welcome to the LaTeX community!

You've used the command \center which doesn't exist (well, it does, but it is not meant to be used like this). This switches your document to a centered column, regardless of a following argument.

It is actually meant to be used as environment:

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
  centered stuff
\end{center}

Alternatively you could use \centering which again is a switch so one should keep its effect local:

Code: Select all

\begingroup
\centering
  centered stuff
\endgroup

yeah. thanks a lot. I just wanted the first page to be centered. didnt know i center everything in that way..

[cgnieder]

If I may: I have a few suggestions regarding your code:

• you're using \Huge and \large much too often. They're switches so you place them once and the font size stays in effect until you reset it again by another switch like \normalfont.
• you're inserting vspace after every line and end the line with \\. This is unnecessary. For instance you can specify the amount of vspace to be inserted after \\ with its optional argument like \\[10pt]. Or, since you seem to use this more often set the leading of the lines to a higher value (e.g. using the setspace package that you've already loaded).
• You're only using \section instead of \chapter and then manually insert pagepreaks before them. Since you're using scrbook I would instead suggest to use \chapter or KOMA's \addchap.
• You're resetting KOMA's sectioning font in each \section manually with \textrm. This is not the recommended way. KOMA-Script offers the command \setkomafont for this.

Below is a modified version of your code that takes care of all these points:

Hi Marco,

welcome to the board!

I studied in Jena too. Mathematics - until the "Vordiplom", afterwards I continued in Hamburg. Before I got lost at sea, for about 10 years.

Clemens alredy gave very good advice. In LaTeX, one should define document wide styles, instead of using adding some space here and some space there, which may become hard to handle in a large document. Hoewever, tweaks at the very end are ok - just avoid before, otherwise you change it again and again... focus on the content, the layout can be polished at the end.

Stefan
