Prec-Tex Commands

Prec-Tex is a package for LaTeX that adds functionality to typeset ordered pairs, triples, and n-tuples with proper spacing and parentheses. This package provides several new commands to help typeset these tuples in a consistent and organized manner.

Commands

The following commands are provided by the Prec-Tex package:

Pair

The \pair{x}{y} command typesets an ordered pair (x, y) with proper spacing and parentheses. For example:

\pair{x}{y}

becomes

$(x, y)$

Triple

The \triple{x}{y}{z} command typesets an ordered triple (x, y, z) with proper spacing and parentheses. For example:

\triple{x}{y}{z}

becomes

$(x, y, z)$

Ntuple

The \ntuple{a}{b}{c}{\dots} command typesets an ordered n-tuple (a, b, c, \dots) with proper spacing and parentheses. For example:

\ntuple{a}{b}{c}{d}

becomes

$(a, b, c, d)$

Norm

The \norm{x} command typesets the norm of a vector x with double vertical bars. For example:

\norm{x}

becomes

$\Vert x \Vert$

Set

The \set{a}{b}{c}{\dots} command typesets a set with braces and the elements separated by commas. For example:

\set{1}{2}{3}

becomes

${1,2,3}$

Small Matrix

The \smallmatrix{a}{b}{c}{d} command typesets a small matrix with parentheses as delimiters. For example:

\smallmatrix{a}{b}{c}{d}

becomes

$\begin{pmatrix}a & b \ c & d\end{pmatrix}$

Conclusion

The Prec-Tex package provides several useful commands for typesetting ordered pairs, triples, n-tuples, norms, sets, and small matrices. These commands can help programmers typeset complex mathematical equations with proper spacing and organization.
