Johnny5 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Is there any way to put a dot above something. I am going to use [math] \omega [/math] to denote angular velocity, and I want to put a dot over the omega symbol, to denote the angular acceleration. The notation [math] \frac{d\omega}{dt} [/math] is too cumbersome for what I want to do. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 isn't angular acceleration [math]\alpha[/math]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny5 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 isn't angular acceleration [math]\alpha[/math']? Yes, but during the derivation, i want to put dots over things, to denote differentiation with respect to time, and I'm sure you can do it with Latex, but I just don't know how. [math] \dot\omega [/math] WOW! I just made a blind child's guess and it worked. Ok i answered my own question, with my very first guess. I'm sure that doesn't happen too often.

ydoaPs Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 how did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Well, what would you expect to be the command for a dot? .... it´s "\dot" . two dots is "\ddot", btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt grime Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 many commands in LaTeX are "what you'd guess". you want an alpha? it's slash alpha. you want to underline? \underline{ text to underline}. there are also underbrace, overbar and other things too.

ku Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yes I noticed that with \bigcup [math]\bigcup[/math], although you have to write \partial for [math]\partial[/math] when I thought it would be \del. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
