Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Matrix within a Table

[KarolisK]

Hello,

I have been trying to create a table with some mathematical operators in it and it includes rotor which has to be written in matrix form. I just went straight forward and used {vmatrix} environment. However, I am not satisfied with the result, because the straight line brackets tend to stretch over the empty spaces between lines. Thank You in advance!

P.S I have also noticed that \vec{A} is not produced too, so there might be a problem too.

MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, blindtext, multicol, xspace}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\toprule[1.5pt]
Cartesian & Cylindrical & Spherical \\
\midrule
1 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 3 \\
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\[\vec{A} = 
\begin{vmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{12} \\
a_{21} & a_{22}
\end{vmatrix}
\] & 2 & 3\\
\bottomrule[1.5pt]
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Hi KarolisK,

simply use $...$ (inline math) instead of \[ ... \]. The latter is for displayed equations.

Thanks! It does repair the errors, however the brackets still extend over the spaces between lines.

The row with the matrix ist just higher, but the brackets don't overlap. You can see if you put a \midrule before the matrix.

Thanks a million I forgot to include "\setlength{\extrarowheight}{6pt}" in the example. It was causing the unwanted effecs.
