Correct space between number and unit.

If we are writing document, some time we have to worry whether we should give space between number and its unit, if we should give space then how much space it should be. There is a very good solution for it in LaTeX. We have to use siunitx package to correct the spaces between number and unit.

At preamble add the following:
\usepackage{siunitx}
Now at the main document, where you want to write number with unit you have to right it like the following
\SI{<number>}{<unit>}
for example
\SI{5}{\ohm}
Please note that command 'SI' is in capital letter.

Hope this will help.

Cheers

Gravitational force \(\displaystyle \vec{F}=-\frac{GMm}{r^2}\hat{r}\) Gauss's theorem \[\oint \vec{E}\cdot\rm{d}\vec{A}=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}\] Here is a numbered equation \begin{equation}   \int_0^\infty \frac{x^3}{e^x-1}\,dx = \frac{\pi^4}{15}   \label{eq:sample} \end{equation} We can also refer equation number like \eqref{eq:sample} This is working, So I will write how to use mathjax in blogger in detail in later post.

LaTeX (pronounced either "Lah-tech" or "Lay-tech") is a very powerful word processing software built in on top of TeX. LaTeX is actually a set of macros that uses TeX to typeset. This is a macro based typesetting program. You have to write your document using LaTeX macros. When you will compile the document it will give you the desired output.  In this kind of approach you are not able to see the appearance of the final document while typing it. This is called WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean). It is not same as using some popular word processing software like Microsof Word or LibreOffice Writer. As they use the approach called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). It has several advantages and disadvantages.  Advantages: Document source can be read with any text editor and can be understood. Since there are several formatting packages available, you can concentrate on content only not on layout. This will be taken care by LaTeX.  You don...
