Science Stuff

The package sciencestuff.sty provides shortcuts for commonly inserted commands in scientific texts.

Included Packages

Together with new commands, the package also automatically includes:

• amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts for mathematical symbols and fonts,

• dsfonts for improved numerical sets,

• upgreek for upright Greek letters,

• physics for common physics-related objects,

• siunitx for SI units of measurements,

• cleveref for improved citations.

Commands

This is a collection of commands which can be used:

Numerical sets

• \1 for the identity matrix,

• \N, \Q, \R, \Z for numeric sets.

Math letters

• \c<capital-letter> for calligraphic letters,

• \r<capital-letter> for romanic letters,

• \f<capital-letter> for Gothic letters.

Groups

• \O{<num>} for orthogonal groups,

• \SO{<num>} for special orthogonal groups,

• \U{<num>} for unitary groups,

• \SU{<num>} for special unitary groups,

• \GL{<num>}{<field>} for general linear groups,

• \SL{<num>}{<field>} for special linear groups.

Inline derivatives

\ipd{<letter>} can be used for inline partial derivatives (e.g. \ipd{u} is equivalent to \partial_u).

Line elements

As \dd[<num>]{<letter>} can be used to print \mathrm{d}^<num> <letter>, \dss[<num>]{<letter>} can be used to print \mathrm{d}<letter>^<num>.

<num> can be omitted in both cases.

Integrals, sums, products

• \zeroinfint{<letter>} is used for integrals from 0 to +\infty in \dd{<letter>},

• \infzeroint{<letter>} is used for integrals from -\infty to 0 in \dd{<letter>},

• \infinfint{<letter>} is used for integrals from -\infty to +\infty in \dd{<letter>},

• \finiteint{<letter>}{<low>}{<upp>} is used for integrals from <low> to <upp> if \dd{<letter>}.

Substitute int with sum or prod to get the same behaviour for sums and products.
