Typesetting Math multiplication
There are several different ways to express multiplication in Mathematics. As \LaTeX is (or can be) used to typeset mathematical and scientific expressions. The following may be useful.
In general we use the $\ce{\times}$ symbol to express multiplication, for example 12 $\ce{\times}$ 6
This can be type set using
12 $\ce{\times}$ 6
However it may also be expressed with * in which case we just use
12 * 6
In algebra, this can be expressed as:
AB
Where A is 12 and B is 6
However you may come across the use of a dot
12 $\ce{\cdot}$ 6
In which case we use
12 $\ce{\cdot}$ 6
