Partial derivative command with Deltas in line












3















I would like to create a new command for partial derivatives. I have something like this in mind:



newcommand{deriv}[2]{frac{partial #1}{partial #2}}


However, the partial commands are unfortunately not horizontally aligned, if I have e.g something like:



deriv{x^alpha}{t},


i.e. if argument #1 has a wider horizontal extent as argument #2. How can I enforce that the partial commands are always horizontally aligned?

    I am pretty sure, the usual suspects will show up with esdiff solutions etc. ;-)

    Like @JohnKormylo, I suspect that, when you say “in line”, you actually mean “vertically aligned” (like what you would get from, say, newcommand*{deriv}[2]{frac{partial #1}{partial #2hfill}}).

    @GuM - You could add another hfill to the top, just in case.

Set the numerator and denominator in a box of similar width and ensure they are both [l]eft-aligned. This is easily done using eqparbox and automated below to allow for any number of derivs (using a counter).



enter image description here



documentclass{article}



usepackage{eqparbox}



newcounter{derivcnt}

newcommand{deriv}[2]{%

  stepcounter{derivcnt}%

  frac

    {eqmakebox[deriv-thederivcnt][l]{$partial #1$}}

    {eqmakebox[deriv-thederivcnt][l]{$partial #2$}}}



begin{document}



[

  deriv{a}{b} + deriv{abc}{d} - deriv{a}{bcd}

]



end{document}


Since this approach uses the .aux files to store the lengths of the boxes, multiple compilations are required with every change in the deriv content.

    You can check the diffcoeff package. It has many ready to use commands for a variety of differential operators



    documentclass{article}
    
usepackage{amsmath}
    
usepackage{diffcoeff}
    
begin{document}
    
[ diff{y}{x}  ,  diffp[2]{f}{t}  ,  diffp{f}{x,y} ]

            up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
