Math & Science ⇒ Bad Math Environment Delimiter

[jafarHH]

Hi,

im a newbie here so srry my newbie questions but what is wrong with this.

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
\[|H\textrangle = (1.0)^{T}\]
\end{equation}

Led tells me its bad math environment delimiter...?!

You make two mistakes.

1. You use \textrangle in math mode (see log file for warnings).
2. You try to nest two math environments.

A simply remedy is to only use one of the math environments at a time, depending on whether you want an equation number or not.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{equation}
    |H\rangle = (1.0)^{T}
  \end{equation}

  \[
    |H\rangle = (1.0)^{T}
  \]
\end{document}

I suggest to do some basic reading about math typesetting.

Thank you very much,

i haven't read so much about LaTeX and it's functions i just caught up the very basics and started didn't think it would be needed to go deeper at the level im using it,
but again you and this forum have been very helpful to me thanks.
