# Searcing for a LaTeX symbol

Know you want to $\LaTeX$ up a summation symbol, but don’t know the command to use? Don’t stress! Head to DeTexify and draw what you’re looking for:

Notice that there are a few results. The one we want is the highlighted one, which tells us to use \sum within math mode. For example, to produce $$\sum_{j = 1}^{n} \mathrm{Col}_j(A)$$ we use the code

$\sum_{j = 1}^{n} \mathrm{Col}_j(A)$        %inline version
$\sum_{j = 1}^{n} \mathrm{Col}_j(A) %display version$


(we need enclosing $...$ or $...$ because \sum only works in math mode).

Now let’s say you actually weren’t interested in the summation symbol but really wanted to typeset a fancy greek Sigma like in the third result. You’ll notice an extra \usepackage parameter, meaning that this symbol isn’t included in $\LaTeX$ by default. That’s okay. Just add the code \usepackage{upgreek} to your preamble so that you can use $\Upsigma$ in the body of your $\LaTeX$ document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsthm}  % if you're using one of my templates, you have these
\usepackage{upgreek}                            % you'll have to add this yourself

...

\begin{document}
Here is my fancy $\Upsigma$!
\end{document}


Here’s a little homework: use DeTexify to figure out what package you need to typeset $\eth$.
