Is there a LaTeX shorthand for the "much larger than" or "much smaller than" signs? Somehow, >> and << don't quite correspond to the versions normally used in books.

Hi,

you could use \gg and \ll with standard LaTeX. The packages mathabx and MnSymbol also provide symbols with this name for that purpose, you can see it in the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List.
