@FrankMittelbach At the moment 13 answers of you contain the word “multicols”: tex.stackexchange.com/… Perhaps you can judge from the titles, whether one of them is does contain what you thought of?
I am typing a matrix in a document class but its size is too large to fit on the width the page. I have also used tex code \tiny but it is making font of matrix entries too small. I am not able to fix this problem. Could anybody help me? I would be very much thankful to you. Here is the tex code...
@egreg Yes I know but it seems modern students take a lot more notice of rules than we used to:-) When thesis was submitted on paper, bound, the university authorities I knew may tut a bit if it wasn't exactly the correct format but they'd never reject a thesis or fail you because you'd proved the theorem of the century but used the wrong linespacing.
@PauloCereda There was another enthusiastic newbie yesterday that upvoted something like 20 answers of mine, so today they were reversed. No damage, though.
Maybe this question should not be here, but for me it seems the only way to get the answer!
My questions are:
Which program a mathematician can use to write a paper in mathematics which contains a lot of geometrical graphs?
How they drew the pictures in the books?
Is it just hand drawing and...
I need to include my full bibliography into my report and the references i have used (in 2 separate sections)
I have my bib file attached to the document and the references are included at the end of the document but I can't find out how to add the full contence of my bibliography.

@PauloCereda oh I know. I've just ordered something from the U.S., and I've paid 21% VAT more :( I would pay extra 12% import taxes if it were over EUR150
Damn taxes ...
Well, now I gotta go, we have the evening service at 6 and I play the organ there :)
@PauloCereda one of them is kind of ok but I think I would exchange both of them. Not sure if it is worth it though: it sounds awful un-amplified, too - well I got for free so I don't want to complain :)
@cgnieder: I have a few string instruments, but I only know the basics. I once posted this picture to Frank (which is a bass player, if I recall correctly): i.sstatic.net/8l97V.jpg
If you want more effective programmers, you will discover that they should not waste their time debugging, they should not introduce the bugs to start with.

@David: we could invite @egreg to test buttercup. :)
@tohecz I have seven instruments, four of which are actually good. They all serve different purposes... if I only had the money I'd have many more... ;)
@cgnieder I'm happy with my guitar. If I had the time for it, I would buy a 5-string banjo, but it takes damn lots of time to learn it, and I know I don't have that much time, given my primary interest is piano and organ.
@tohecz: a nice song in action with a viola and guitar: youtube.com/watch?v=3S_RdLhJGtI (that guy is the one that autographed my viola, I played with him, but in piano + viola). :)
@cgnieder Every region has its own tunning, and there's also the personal taste of every player. :) There's a story that people used to "duel" by playing/singing, then they changed the tune every time in order to avoid the other player to copy the notes. :)
@tohecz not exactly... a dobro is a kind of resonance guitar that is often played by slide guitar players. Slide essentially means you use a bottle-neck for playing. Sonny Landreth would come to mind...
@leo It would be easier for the counter to have the values 1,2,3,... but make a shower macro like \myarabic that shows them as 4,9,13,21,.... using some math package
@leo was it you that asked the question the other day (I just failed to find it) but just use \renewcommand\thechapter{\the\numexpr4+(\value{chapter}-1)*9\relax}
@tohecz good idea. I would like to have counters to step as f(n) does but with f(n) any integer valued function. I was thinking in do something with pgf but it seems redefine \stepcounter is not the way to go
@DavidCarlisle thanks. But the problem is that there are counters which are not shewed using \thecounter or \arabic{counter} or the others. As I have said, I have tried with the question counter from exsheets package. Redefining \thequestion don't do what I want.
@DavidCarlisle true, but I thinking in general. It would be nice to do that with any function
@leo more commonly there are counters not incremented with stepcounter (they may be set with setcounter or incremented with the \advance primitive, you can't catch everything, if you redefine \thexxx then at least you catch the cases that are doing it right.
Take the unit sphere in the three dimensional space. A plane through the half of the sphere perpendicular to the vertical axis.
Pick a point in the plane and draw the line which joins it with the north pole of the sphere. The intersection of this line with the sphere is the stereographic image o...
@leo How can you solve it once and for all. It is already the case that counter printing functions can be any expandable function of the underlying register, that's how you get \Alph or \Roman etc, using \numexpr is just a natural extension of that. But whatever method you use of specifying your series if you also allow people to set and extract the value of the counter using arbitrary tex primitives then it will fail.
@leo In the new order we'll remove all the tex primitives and everyone will have to code to the proper interfaces and the world will be a happier place.
@cgnieder A bit yes. The thing is that the assigned questions of my homework are those with number 4+(n-1)*9. So I want the questions to be numbered properly. I've tried \renewcommand\thequestion{\the\numexpr4+(\value{question}-1)*9\relax} as Davide suggested. But it doesn't work. Then I did it:
@cgnieder which is essentially the L3 version of what tohecz and I suggested (keeping the register incrementing by 1 and adding the function to the toplevel print command)
@DavidCarlisle I've just inverted a few matrices with Python and wrote the result in a mat file. Amazingly, MATLAB read that file so my good days are coming.
I have a book divided in four PDFs. I want to put them in one PDF. I want to add bookmarks to Chapters and sections in hierarchy. Are aware of some related question?
