how to write a big {

Post by nicr »

Hi everybody,

Please, does someone know how to write { and }? There is \{ and \} but they are too little. I would like them as big as \left( and \right). The text is in the align environment and I just have 1-\cos\left[\left(\frac{n}{N}\right)^{5}\right] in between.

Than you :-)

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I really miss to see the problem, to be honest.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
	\left\{1-\cos\left[\left(\frac{n}{N}\right)^{5}\right]\right\}
\end{align}
\end{document}
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Thank you very much Johannes_B :-)
