[texhax] Simultaneous Equations?

Sorry All,

I sent this to Gavin but not to all:

Try eqnarray

\begin{eqnarray}

& \begin{bmatrix} 1&0&0&0 \end{bmatrix} (I-\beta \Delta )^T \Delta (I-\beta
\Delta) \begin{bmatrix}1\\0\\0\\0 \end{bmatrix}
(\phi(i)-\phi(j))^2+\nonumber \\

&\begin{bmatrix} 0&0&1&0 \end{bmatrix} (I-\beta \Delta )^T \Delta (I-\beta
\Delta) \begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}
(\phi(k)-\phi(l))^2+\nonumber \\

& 2 \begin{bmatrix} 1&0&0&0 \end{bmatrix} (I-\beta \Delta )^T \Delta
(I-\beta \Delta) \begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}\nonumber \\&
(\phi(i)-\phi(j))(\phi(k)-\phi(l))

\end{eqnarray}

put \nonumber at the end of each line if you don't want a number.

A bmatrix is a bracket:[
I think $\bigl \{ stuff \bigr \}$
and \Bigl \Bigr
and \BIGl \BIGr
give increasingly bigger left (l) and right (r) braces
They are math equations.
