Multiplying actual numbers, as you say: 2 \cdot 2 versus 22 is obviously the way to go. More subtly, writing, say, 2 \cdot 3^4 is an improvement over 2 3^4 for the same reason. You might say "of course!" except that sometimes, if you have a pedantic input style (like me) you fool yourself: 2 {13}^2 looks like 213^2. Function notation.

May 27, 2011 · WP Multiplication article uses \cdot for scalar multiplication. WP says the matrix dot product should be written using the "bullet operator" character, like "a ∙ b". The WP Dot product article uses the LaTeX \cdot character for dot products. Wikipedia shows a raised decimal point example "£21·48", which uses the "middle dot" character.

The vertical position is fixed to center the symbol vertically around the math axis as \cdot and \bullet do. The width of the symbol is not the scaled down width of the \bullet (with scaled down side bearings), but a little larger width of \cdot. The scale and width factor can be configured by macros \bigcdot@scalefactor and \bigcdot@widthfactor.

What is the difference between ‍‍\\ldots‎ and ‎\\cdots‎? For example, To write a sequence of points which is best to use? a_1,\\ldots,a_n Or a_1,\\cdots,a_n. Couple of examples of the difference can be

Jun 9, 2023 · I'd like to adjust $\odot$ to take up roughly similar amounts of space and ink as $+-*\times\div\circ\cdot$, while also exactly matching their vertical centering and horizontal padding. Bonus points if this adjustment does not require importing any new latex packages, so could be tossed into Markdown Latex in a pinch.

As others have said, \cdot only works in math mode, so you can write $\cdot$. However, a more elegant solution in my opinion is to use \textbullet, which is the equivalent of \cdot but for text mode.

Dec 17, 2010 · \textbullet (in text mode) and \cdot (in math mode) look pretty different; the former is much heavier. If you want a light dot, one option is just to write $\cdot$, of course. Alternatively, maybe look here or here. Interpunct on Wikipedia maybe …

Nov 7, 2012 · The following example defines \Cdot to generate a larger dot. It takes an optional argument with a scaling factor. It takes an optional argument with a scaling factor. The default is 1.25 .

Oct 6, 2016 · as was previously mentioned, you cannot 'upgrade' from 7-Mode to CDOT. You need to 'convert' the filer to CDOT first. Last year we ordered a FAS2552 running 7-Mode. After it arrived but before we put iit into production, we made the decision to switch to Cluster Mode. The filer comes with the ability to boot into 7-Mode or Cluster Mode.
