In mathematics, the intersection and big intersection symbols are used to represent the intersection of two sets or the intersection of multiple sets. In LaTeX, these symbols can be represented using the commands \cap
and \bigcap
, respectively.
In mathematics, the intersection and big intersection symbols are used to represent the intersection of two sets or the intersection of multiple sets. In LaTeX, these symbols can be represented using the commands \cap
and \bigcap
, respectively.
To write the intersection symbol in LaTeX, use the command \cap
. For example:
$$
A \cap B
$$
$$ A \cap B $$
This represents the intersection of two sets A and B.
To write the big intersection symbol in LaTeX, use the command \bigcap
. For example:
$$
\bigcap_{i=1}^{n} A_i
$$
$$ \bigcap_{i=1}^{n} A_i $$
This represents the intersection of n sets $A_1, A_2, ..., A_n$.
