Putting Brackets around fractions

Post by Noobix Cube »

I can't seem to make the brackets cover the full fraction when stating a differential, namely

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
  (\frac{df}{dt})
\end{equation}
Any tips?

You can do the following:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
   \left(\frac{df}{dt}\right)
\end{equation}

If you have to handle many of those derivatives in your document, you should take a look at the esdiff package.
