HI
I need help for displaying notation used in the teaching of our
introductory financial maths course for displaying present and future values
of annuities.
The required symbol is n with a line on top and a line to the right, followed
by and i, pronounced n angle i. Looks something like this
_
n | i
but with the lines joined. It can be done manually with ERT latex as a single
cell table with a top line and right line, however I need to use this within
maths displays. Is this possible? Any ideas?
Here is a possible solution (there may be a better solution):
In the preamble put
\newcommand{\foo}[1]{\mbox{\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{\,}|} \hline #1\\
\end{tabular}\,}}
and when in the math editor, type \foo{n
(you will see foo{n} where foo{} is in red, and n in blue).
