Argmin in LaTeX

Filed under: General, Math — breakthru @ 11:56 am

Today I was writing a report and as usual I was searching the web
for quick solutions of common things like: how do I write the min over some
variables of some function in a LaTeX formula?
Search engines found for me many pages that were saying “there is explanation
for this on wikipedia” BUT.. that wiki page had changed!!!
It’s like linking a wrong page… interesting stuff.
Anyway this is the trick, taken from the history of the wiki (always great thing)

LaTeX has no built-in ‘'’\argmax”’ command. Some people get around this by using ‘'’\arg\max”’. This could be undesirable, because a subscripted variable will appear centered beneath the word “max”, instead of centered beneath the whole word.
An easy solution is to use: \underset{x}{\operatorname{argmax}}

Enjoy LaTeX!

Happy Hacking

Nice piece of Open Source marketing

Filed under: General, GNU/Linux, Software — breakthru @ 3:36 pm

From the mozilla website this page says:

Being open means the next big idea can come from anyone across the world rather than just relying on a few dozen employees at our company offices. When you look at the situation in those terms, why do it any other way?

Nothing more to add, it’s just perfect.
Next step, keeping it free forever.. how to make marketing for GPL software?
