\smallint

The \smallint command in LaTeX is used to display a smaller version of the integral symbol, often used in inline math to fit better with surrounding text. It is particularly useful when you want to include integrals in text without disrupting the line spacing.

Examples

0 \int 1 x^{2} d x

Inline integral of x squared from 0 to 1.

\smallint_0^1 x^2 \, dx

f (x) = a \int b f (t) d t

Inline representation of a definite integral from a to b.

f(x) = \smallint_a^b f(t) \, dt

The area is \int y d x

Using a small integral symbol in a sentence to describe area calculation.

\text{The area is } \smallint y \, dx
