hi there,

I have a latex related question...
How do I get a matrix nicer than the one with the commands below?

\begin{center}
$Q_3$=\begin{pmatrix}-3&3&0&0\\1&-3&2&0\\0&2&-3&1\\0&0&0&0\end{pmatrix}
\end{center}

This will give me the correct matrix but the "-"signs make it look ugly for bigger matrices....
Does anyone know how to get the "-"signs a bit to the left so that the actual numbers form smooth columns?

Thanks alot!

Kind regards,
A.

Hello,

try this:

Matrix = \left[ \begin{array}{r}
-x&r\\
y&u\\
\end{array} \right]

it will align on the right so the signs will not affect your columns.
