Course reports and theses fail at the same equation spots. Fix these ten and the pages usually look fine:
- Key results still stuck inline
- Multi-line derivations without
align - Unscaled parentheses around big fractions (missing
\left\right) - Subscript labels as italic variables (use
\text{}) *as multiplication with weird spacing- Unmatched
&/\\in matrices - The same quantity with inconsistent symbols
- Missing braces on limit/sum indices
- Screenshots of broken Word equations in the final PDF
- Pasting a whole block without ever previewing
Preview in the editor, then paste into Overleaf or Word. Before submit, skim the homework checklist once more.
