I have the following code with multicols and but the weird thing is that when I type in the multicols environment, it follows that the text automatically gets moved into the next column automatically when I would like for it to continue in the first column. My code is follows:
\documentclass[landscape]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=.22in,top=.22in,bottom=.22in]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\fontsize{5}{6}\selectfont
\begin{multicols}{3}
% multicol parameters
% These lengths are set only within the two main columns
\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.25pt}
\setlength{\premulticols}{1pt}
\setlength{\postmulticols}{1pt}
\setlength{\multicolsep}{1pt}
\setlength{\columnsep}{2pt}
\section{Numerical Integration}
Midpoint: $(b-a)f(\frac{(a+b)}{2})$. Midpoint error is: $\frac{f''(\xi)}{24}(b-a)^{3}$ \\
Trapezoidal: $\frac{b-a}{2}[f(a)+f(b)]$. Trap error is: $ -\frac{f''(\xi)}{12}(b-a)^{3} $ \\
Simpson: $\frac{b-a}{6}[f(a)+4f(\frac{a+b}{2})+f(b)]$. \\ Simpson Error is $-\frac{f''''(\xi)}{90}(\frac{b-a}{2})^{5}$
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
I am looking to save as much space as possible in the most organized way possible since I am looking to make a cheat sheet, which hence explains the small font size. Anyhow, when I compile the code, it follows that the 3rd line beginning with "simpson ..." gets moved into the 2nd column. How could I prevent this ?
Thank you
