# Trying to make school report in latex for first time. Can't get equations to work


my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], then new_list = [(2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot4)] = [120, 60, 40, 30, 24]
\end{eqution}

If $$my_list = [25,5,4,15,3], then new_list = [(5*4*15*3), (25*4*15*3),(25*5*15*3), (25*5*4*3), (25*5*4*15)] = [900, 4500, 5625, 1500, 7500]$$


I am trying to make a school report in Latex for the first time, and I'm finding myself on using more time on the latex programming than the Python and R code in the assignment. I have tried using both \begin and \end equation and ( and ) without success. I also tried to write it as normal text, but then i got some error due to the *.

Would appreciate any tips, would really like to get good in latex, but I won't have time for that before the due date of this report, so I am strongly considering to just use word.

EDIT: Tried to fix the spelling error, but now I get a error concerning the subsection under the equation.

 \section*{Problem 1.1}

\subsection*{Explanation}
blablalblalbalblalbalblalbal a list my\_list, produce a \_list where all the integers, new\list[i], are the product of all the integers in my\_list, except my\_list[i]. Let’s try two examples to illustrate the problem.
$$my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], then new_list = [(2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot4)] = [120, 60, 40, 30, 24]$$

%If \{my_list = [25,5,4,15,3], then new_list = [(5*4*15*3), (25*4*15*3),(25*5*15*3), (25*5*4*3), (25*5*4*15)] = [900, 4500, 5625, 1500, 7500]\)

• Welcome to TEX S.E.! There is a typo. Type – sztruks Nov 2 '18 at 14:20
• Welcome! I really think you need to at least skim over some introductory material... If you don't have the time to do it, it's not a good idea to switch to LaTeX now. It's like learning a new programming language; you need time to understand the basic philosophy and then build over it. Your code is really far away to what an equation in LaTeX should be... – Rmano Nov 2 '18 at 14:23
• Also you should use align. \begin{align} ... \end{align} – Sid Nov 2 '18 at 14:25
• Thanks sztruks! Take a look at my edited question. – AndersF94 Nov 2 '18 at 14:26
• Hi Rmano, I fully agree with you, but this is the only problem I have. Everything else works well. – AndersF94 Nov 2 '18 at 14:29

I propose this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mathtools}

\begin{document}

\begin{aligned}[b] \texttt{my\_list} & = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] , \text{ then}\\ \texttt{new\_list}& = [(2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot4\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot5), (1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot4)\mathrlap{]} \\[0.5ex] & = [120, 60, 40, 30, 24] \end{aligned}

If $\texttt{my\_list} = [25,5,4,15,3]$, then \$\texttt{new\_list} = [(5*4*15*3), (25*4*15*3),(25*5*15*3), (25*5*4*3), (25*5*4*15)] = [900, 4500, 5625, 1500, 7500]\)

\end{document}
