MathJax tutorial

Hai friends, today we will discuss more about LaTeX commands. I am not going to exaggerate things. I will show you the facts straight forward.

Fonts

  1. Use \mathbb or \Bbb for "black board bold" font.
    \(\mathbb{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
  2. Use \mathbf for "bold face" font.
    \(\mathbf{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
  3. Use \mathtt for "typewriter" font.
    \(\mathtt{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
  4. Use \mathrm for "roman" font.
    \(\mathrm{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
  5. Use \mathsf for "sans-serif" font.
    \(\mathsf{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
  6. Use \mathcal for "calligraphic" script.
    \(\mathcal{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
  7. Use \mathfrak for "Fraktur"(old German style letters).
    \(\mathfrak{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)

\(\mathbb{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
\(\mathbf{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
\(\mathtt{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
\(\mathrm{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
\(\mathsf{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
\(\mathcal{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)
\(\mathfrak{ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O}\)

Greek Letters

For small Greek letters use \alpha ,\beta ,\gamma ,...\omega(\(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma ,...\omega\)) as shown on line one. For capital Greek letters use \Delta , \Gamma ,...\ Omega(\(\Delta ,\Gamma ,...\Omega\)) as shown on line number 2.

\(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma ,...\omega\)
\(\Delta ,\Gamma ,...\Omega\)

\frac

This command will be show numbers as fraction. For example you can write following command to show \(\frac 12\).

\(\frac 12\)

But you can't write \(\frac {12}{13}\) as above. In order to write this you have to write denominator and numerator in curly braces as shown below:

\(\frac {12}{13}\)

\overline

The overline command is used to put a bar above a letter or word. In order to put bar above a word you have to use curly braces but in order to write bar above a letter you don't want curly braces. The command for writing \(\overline a\) shown on line1 and command for writing \(\overline {INTR}\) is shown on line 2.

\(\overline a\)
\(\overline {INTR}\)


From above you may get the idea that if you want to format a group of letters or numbers you have to use curly braces.

Superscripts and subscript

The Superscripts and subscripts are very important in math symbols. Since they have wide variety of applications in definite integrals, summation etc. The \(x^2 \text{ and } x^{2n}\) is written in first line and \(x_2 \text{ and } x_{2n}\) is written in second line. The \(\log_2 x\) is shown on third line and \(x_i^2\) shown on fourth line.

\(x^2 \text{ and } x^{2n}\)
\(x_2 \text{ and } x_{2n}\)
\(\log_2 x\)
\(x_i^2\)

\text

If you want to write something in between LaTeX commands, sometimes you can't do that. Since some words like 'to', 'in' etc. also LaTeX commands. But you can write those words with the help of \text command. For example, the first command results "\(15\mu A to 40\mu A\)" without a white space between \(15\mu A\) and \(40\mu A\). So we have to use second command to show results with proper white space.

\(15\mu A to 40\mu A\)
\(15\mu A \text{ to } 40\mu A\)

Parantheses

The symbols (), {}, and [] used to make parantheses. For example,\(x\{n\}=(2,3,5,7,11) \text{ and } x[t]=2t+1\). Code shown on line 1. These do not scale with the formula in between, so if you write(line number 2), \((\frac{\sqrt x}{y^3})\) the parentheses will be too small. Using \left(…\right) will make the sizes adjust automatically to the formula they enclose(code shown on third line): \(\left(\frac{\sqrt x}{y^3}\right)\). This \left and \right is also applicable for square brackets([]), curly braces({}), ceil bracket(\(\lceil x \rceil\)), floor bracket(\(\lfloor x \rfloor\)) and angled parantheses(\(\langle x \rangle\))too. Those brackets not discussed yet discussed is shown on line 4 of code snippet seperated by comma.

\(x\{n\}=(2,3,5,7,11) \text{ and } x[t]=2t+1\)
\(\(frac{\sqrt x}{y^3})\)
\(\left(\frac{\sqrt x}{y^3}\right)\)
\(\lceil x \rceil, \lfloor x \rfloor, \langle x \rangle\)

Summation


\(\sum_{k=0}^n k^2 = \frac{(n^3+n^2)(2n+1)}{8}\)
$$\sum_{k=0}^n k^2 = \frac{(n^3+n^2)(2n+1)}{8}$$

The first command will show you result in inline mode like \(\sum_{k=0}^n k^2 = \frac{(n^3+n^2)(2n+1)}{8}\). While second command will show you output in display mode like $$\sum_{k=0}^n k^2 = \frac{(n^3+n^2)(2n+1)}{8}$$

8051 Simple Programs

Sum of 8-bit Numbers Stored in Memory Here  we will discuss about 8051 programs but we can't discuss about all of the 8051 instructions. For programming 8051 we should know about assembler directives as well as instruction set.

Even and Odd Memory Banks

The 8086 microprocessor uses a 20-bit address to access memory. With 20-bit address the processor can generate 2 20 = 1 Mega address. The basic memory word size of the memories used in the 8086 system is 8-bit or 1-byte (i.e., in one memory location an 8-bit binary information can be stored). Hence, the physical memory space of the 8086 is 1Mb (1 Mega-byte). For the programmer, the 8086 memory address space is a sequence of one mega-byte in which one location stores an 8-bit binary code/data and two consecutive locations store 16-bit binary code/data. But physically (i.e., in the hardware), the 1Mb memory space is divided into two banks of 512kb (512kb + 512kb = 1Mb). The two memory banks are called Even (or Lower) bank and Odd (or Upper) bank. The organization of even and odd memory banks in the 8086-based system is shown in Figure. The 8086-based system will have two sets of memory IC's. One set for even bank and another set for odd bank. The data lines D 0 -D 7 are conne...

8051 Keyboard Interfacing

Keyboards are organized in a matrix of rows and columns. The CPU accesses both rows and columns through ports. Therefore, with two 8-bit ports, an 8 x 8 matrix of keys can be connected to a microprocessor. When a key is pressed, a row and a column make a contact. Otherwise, there is no connection between rows and columns. In IBM PC keyboards, a single microcontroller takes care of hardware and software interfacing. A 4x4 matrix connected to two ports. The rows are connected to an output port and the columns are connected to an input port. Grounding Rows and reading Columns:- 8051 keyboard interfacing It is the function of the microcontroller to scan the keyboard continuously to detect and identify the key pressed. To detect a pressed key, the microcontroller grounds all rows by providing 0 to the output latch, then it reads the columns. If the data read from columns is D3 – D0 =1111, no key has been pressed and the process continues till key press is detected. If one of t...
