In a formula such as
\[ \left( \sum_{n\in\mathbf{N}} \right) \]
the left and right delimiters extend not only downwards to cover the lower limit of the sum, but upwards an equal amount as if to cover an upper limit, despite there being no upper limit. Is there a way to prevent this?
This seems related to this question, and the first answer there (enclose it in an array
environment) can sort of solve it, but (I think) inelegantly, and also inserts extra spacing. I'm hoping there is a better way, like a command to simply control whether \sum
has a top delimiter at all or something.
\biggl( ... \biggr)
rather than\left( ... \right)
. I.e., the size of the "fences" chosen by\left( ... \right)
are too large. – Mico Apr 16 '13 at 13:51\bigg
as the explicit size instruction. – Mico Apr 16 '13 at 14:44
