I would like to center column headings (and column headings only) in the following table. Why does it work with the first column, but not the second (I thought \multicolumn
is the correct approach to this problem).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{rr}
\toprule
\multicolumn{1}{c}{$\alpha$} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$\alpha=0.99999$} \\
\midrule
10 & 69.681 \\
& 901.741 \\
1000 & 893.630 \\
& 82.806 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
