# Using mathematical symbols alpha, beta, implies in latex

How can I use the mathematical symbols like alpha, beta, implies and many more symbols in the tex file?

• Use the math mode $\alpha,\beta$ – Sigur Dec 10 '14 at 15:55
• You can learn more about math and LaTeX in Herberts mathmode. – Johannes_B Dec 10 '14 at 15:56
• Hello! I hope I won't sound harsh, but from your question it seems to me that you lack some basic LaTeX knowledge. I would like to suggest you to take reasonable amount of time and learn the crucial basics, for good resources see What are good learning resources for a LaTeX beginner?. – yo' Dec 10 '14 at 15:59
• ‘implies’ is \Rightarrow. – Bernard Dec 10 '14 at 16:14
• @Bernard or \implies ;) – yo' Dec 10 '14 at 16:15

\alpha, A, \beta, B, \gamma, \Gamma, \pi, \Pi, \phi, \varphi, \Phi
• You might mention that mathmode is invoked inline with $ or $$, $$ delimiters, and on a separate line with $, $ delimiters, as well as various math environments. Welcome to the site. – Steven B. Segletes Dec 10 '14 at 16:16 You might want to try the "amsmath" package. Use \usepackage{amsmath} in the preamble of your document. Then one way to get an equation with greek letter is: $$\label{eq1} \alpha + \beta_1$$  • Don't give labels like eq1. describe the contents in a keyword, like \label{eq:alphaBetaSum}. – Johannes_B Dec 10 '14 at 16:02 • Can you please help, if I want to use $\alpha$ instead of \alpha what do I change in the \userpackage? It is giving me an error on overleaf when I use $\alpha\$ – Fareed Abi Farraj Oct 8 '19 at 16:29
