# Removing unnecessary space

Is there a way that I can remove that unnecessary blank space? Not all of it, but at least a good proportion of it.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\title{How to remove the space  from above this}
\author{ABC}
\date{11 July 2018}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

Calculate: $$\int_0^{\infty} \sqrt{x}e^{-x^2}\sin^3{(x^2)}dx$$
$$\int_0^1$$
\end{document}


As an aditional question, how can I align the integrals that they will look the same but they will be underneath the word "Calculate"?

• You're using the wrong tool here. Look for something like a theorem environment etc. or amsmath align environment. $$...$$ is outdated syntax. – user31729 Feb 9 at 23:38
• @ChristianHupfer Thanks, I've been told before today that, and I will try maybe in the future to change it. But for an year I have used it on MSE so I am more used to dolar signs. (I am new to LaTeX). – Zacky Feb 9 at 23:40
• to echo the comment by @ChristianHupfer, the use of two independent display lines leaves you open to the possibility that a page break could occur between them. (although not in such a short piece as this) also, the spacing between these lines isn't optimal. please do take a look at the amsmath documentation -- texdoc amsldoc. – barbara beeton Feb 10 at 2:57
• What do you mean with unnecessary blank space? – Edoardo Serra Feb 10 at 8:03
• I mean, to remove abit of space. Or better said I want to make the title higher than it is right now, near the top of the page as much as possible. – Zacky Feb 10 at 10:33

Don't know if I understood properly what you're asking, still giving it a try ;).

Are you looking for something like this?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\noindent
Calculate:
\begin{flalign*}
&\int_0^{\infty} \sqrt{x}e^{-x^2}\sin^3{(x^2)}dx && \\
&\int_0^1 &&
\end{flalign*}

\end{document}


That compiles to:

To shift the title upwards insert this in the preamble

\usepackage{titling}
\setlength{\droptitle}{-40ex}


and tweak the parameter -40ex to shift it upwards or downwards. With this value, it should roughly be at the top margin of the page.
