LaTeX forum ⇒ Math & Science ⇒ How to not indent \align* environment?

[ghostanime2001]

When I use the \align* environment I am okay with the vertical space it sets by default but the formula in between this environment gets indented. How can I stop it doing that? i want it to be aligned with the page number to the left as per the following example. Here is the code

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf

\documentclass[fleqn]{article}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\allowdisplaybreaks
\usepackage{xfrac}
\usepackage[makeroom]{cancel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\pagestyle{empty}
\sisetup{%
   output-decimal-marker={.},
   load-configurations=abbreviations,
   group-separator={,},
   per-mode=fraction,
   fraction-function=\sfrac}
\usepackage{fix-cm}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\begin{minipage}[t]{2in}
$\begin{aligned}[t]
\Delta t&=\text{9.09 \cancel{hr}}\left(\dfrac{\text{60 \cancel{min}}}{\text{1 \cancel{hr}}}\right)\left(\dfrac{\text{60 s}}{\text{1 \cancel{min}}}\right)=\text{32,724 s} \\
\omega&=\text{?}
\end{aligned}$
\end{minipage}
\begin{align*}
\omega=\dfrac{\theta}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{\text{1.34 rad}}{\text{32,724 s}}=\text{\num{4.09e-5} rad/s}
\end{align*}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Set the length \mathindent to zero:

\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}

In the preamble?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, then it's for all such math environments. Or later, if you want it later. You can even use within environments, if you wish to keep the effect local.

It doesn't seem to work

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It does. If you use align* within enumerate, it aligns to the left regarding the items. Not to the left of the number. If you desire that, first end the enumerate environment, then start align*.

I think u misunderstood me. But anyway, i got it fixed

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could explain what has been meant. And how you fixed it (code? pdf?), this would also explain what the problem has been, originally.

I wrote "\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}" exactly one line before \begin{document} and for equations i wanted to have a nice vertical space without manually setting \vspace i set \begin{align*} into math equations i wanted to have this good vertical space and it worked. If you still don't know what I mean i can show you a PDF?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

This explanation doesn't make it clearer. Well, the question was how to remove the indentation of align*, and this way it's left aligned.

\documentclass[fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
\noindent Left aligned
\begin{align*}
x &= y
\end{align*}
\end{document}
