  • Define “ugly”. What is wrong with the rendering? Also define “nice”. And are you sure you should be using math mode? It looks like you might be trying to display HTML tags.

  • @StevenB.Segletes thank you! As for the HTML I am not trying to display such a thing that is for sure!

You need to use the angular parenthesis \langle and \rangle. In your case you have to write $\langle P \rangle$.

If you add \left\langle P \right\rangle they'll come out in the perfect size.

Hope this help!
