See pages 6 and 7 of the LaTeX manual for a full explanation. What I would do is: (2.1) fl(x)=x(1+e), where e < u which makes it obvious that the condition is part of the equation, or (2.1) fl(x)=x(1+e) where e < u ... which makes it obvious that the condition is not. -=- Clayton Elwell Arpa/CSNet: Elwell@Ohio-State.ARPA UUCP: ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!elwell Voice: (614) 292-6546
