Researcher in quantum information --- involving algebras over finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, graphs and combinatorics, and vector spaces over ℤ/pℤ.
I habitually edit and re-edit anything I write, as long as I have the time, interest, and ability. I should probably apologize for this tendency, but you will probably have to be satisfied with being warned about it instead.

Problems typesetting footnotes with RevTeX 4-1 Actually, this is documented on page 13 of the RevTeX4-1 manual as well. It's a bit disappointing that this is necessary, but as it seems to be the intended workflow of RevTeX4-1 (and does solve the problem), this is clearly the correct answer. |

How to use parameter numbers and \foreach I've revised my answer. It looks like Herbert's is more versatile, but this should also do what you want. |

Alternative to \mathcal and \mathscr This is to be expected (that O is pretty distinctive, after all); I presented this because I am loath to override the mathcal typeface provided by (iirc) AMSmath. |

The key to understanding the LaTeX syntax Are you talking about using LaTeX for document preparation (e.g. for writing articles), or are you talking about programming in LaTeX (e.g. for creating new style files or class files, for other people to use to write documents such as articles)? |

Smaller matrices (or other math elements) in displayed math I'm afraid that I'm not going to accept an answer which ignores my request that it not involve switching between text mode and math mode, unless you also make a convincing argument that there is no particularly nice answer which avoids this. (And shouldn't I at least use \text rather than \mbox?) |

Smaller matrices (or other math elements) in displayed math @Yannis: I do know that you can use \scalefont anywhere; hence the remark in my first comment above. I'm afraid that your revised answer is substantially worse than switching between text and mathmode, because it requires much more work and fiddling. (Much more so because I would have to adjust the vertical spacing as well as the horizontal!) Are there no automatic techniques for modifying matrix spacing? |

Smaller matrices (or other math elements) in displayed math this is not a bad solution, but when the "scaled" math is put alongside non-scaled math, I find that the spacing inside the matrix doesn't scale the same way. At a ratio of 0.8 or so (about the same as \footnotesize for 11pt Palatino), it takes up more horizontal space than the cludgy \footnotesize approach, and exactly the same vertical space as a non-scaled matrix. While theoretically sound, in practice this is marginally better than not scaling the matrices at all. Is there anything else that can be done to improve how the spacing is determined for the scaled matrix? |

Smaller matrices (or other math elements) in displayed math A couple of minor quibbles: the \scalefont would have to be inside the math environment in order to only affect the matrix (which is what I described); and the braces would have to contain the \scalefont command, as it is a switch like \rmfamily rather than a macro like \textrm. |
