Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Using eqnarray in a table.

[rugbyscotty]

Hello everyone,

I have been using the Latex language for about a year now and though I was good haha...Well I was wrong.

I am now calling on you all to help my figure out how I can utilize the \begin{eqnarray} function within a cell. My intentions are to line up all the "=" signs in a particular cell without using '$'.

For example:

Code: Select all

\begin{eqnarray*}
Speed&=&\frac{Distance}{Time} \\
&=&\frac{200km}{2\,Hours} \\
&=&100km\,per\,hour
\end{eqnarray*} 

I want to get this code into a cell within a table or another code which will do the same thing as the code above.

Thanks for your troubles

Scotty

Hi and welcome,

eqnarray is a display environment, i wouldn't use it in tabular cells. In fact, i wouldn't use eqnarray at all. Avoid eqnarray!


Can you give us a short compilable example of what you are trying to do?

Hi Scotty,

welcome to the forum!

See also my post eqnarray vs. align for a short explanation with picture.

I would not used a so called "displayed" math environment, such as eqnarray or align, within a table cell. That's because they are for centered math paragraphs in normal text, with distance before and after them.

You could use multiline math blocks with alignment, such as using aligned within $...$, see amsmath manual for aligned.
