Is there a convenient way to typeset the floor or ceiling of a number, without needing to separately code the left and right parts? For example, is there some way to do $\ceil{x}$ instead of …
The height of the floor symbol is inconsistent, it is smaller when the fraction contains a lowercase letter in the numerator and larger when the fraction contains numbers or uppercase letters …
Is there a macro in latex to write ceil (x) and floor (x) in short form? The long form \left \lceil {x}\right \rceil is a bit lengthy to type every time it is used.
4 I suspect that this question can be better articulated as: how can we compute the floor of a given number using real number field operations, rather than by exploiting the printed notation, which …
What are some real life application of ceiling and floor functions? Googling this shows some trivial applications.
OR Floor always rounding towards zero. Ceiling always rounding away from zero. E.g floor (x)=-floor (-x) if x<0, floor (x) otherwise If gravity were reversed, the ceiling would become the floor. So from a …
Truncation rounds negative numbers upwards, and positive numbers downwards. Floor rounds all numbers downwards, and ceiling rounds all numbers upwards. Is there a …
I disagree with the suggested dupe closure. In this question the point is what happens to the floor function when we subtract a small amount from an integer. On the other hand, in the …
A LaTeX-y way to handle this issue would be to define a macro called, say, \floor, using the \DeclarePairedDelimiter device of the mathtools package. With such a setup, you can pass an …
