How to change font size in LaTex equations

Credit should go to original contributor. I am just sharing here.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath}
 \begin{document}

 \begin{eqnarray} 2x+3 \end{eqnarray}

 \makeatletter
 \def\@eqnnum{{\normalsize \normalcolor (\theequation)}}
  \makeatother
 { \small \begin{eqnarray} 2x+3 \end{eqnarray} }
 \end{document} 



to make sure the size of the equation numbers are not changed we have included a redefinition of the eqnnum command.
\makeatletter  \def\@eqnnum{{\normalsize \normalcolor (\theequation)}}  
\makeatother

available sizes:

• \tiny
• \scriptsize
• \footnotesize
• \small
• \normalsize (default)
• \large
• \Large (capital "L")
• \LARGE (all caps)
• \huge
• \Huge (capital "H")

TeXniCenter 0 ERRORS, 0 WARNINGS, 0 BAD BOX, 0 PAGES.

This happens if the MikTex has missing packages. To resolve this, go to
for e.g. MikTex2.9 -> maintainance (admin) - > Settings (admin) -> General and choose

either Yes or No (but not "Ask me first") for the option "Install missing packages on-the-fly".

cheers!

How to Find Keywords from Files in Ubuntu

I personally have wasted much time finding keywords within files, when I wanted to debug programming codes in Ubuntu.
Here is how it is done easily.

The function we use is called grep. Most of the Ubuntu distributions come with grep installed.

If you want to find my_function in all the files in folder /home/abc
type:

grep -i -n -r 'my_function' /home/abc

definition:
grep - function to search patterns in files
-i - ignore case
-n - output line number
-r - search recursively

Use
grep --help or man grep for more details.


Thanks for reading this post. Hope it would help!
