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

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}
