I am writing my report using TeXnicCenter, and it has been going very well.
However, I want to write max* in the equation mode, but all i code get is the asterisk right about the a
in max
if I write $\max*$
in normal inline equation I get what I want which is max*
. but when I write it using the equation command which is
\begin{equation} \label{eq:a}
\max^{*}(a,b)
\end{equation}
I get max(a,b) and the astrik is right above 'a', like I am using \limits
. using \mbox
will put the asterisk way after the max
.
this is an image showing my dilemma, it shows what I want, then what I get for using \mbox{*}
then what I get for using \max^*
