There is a new chronology.sty by Levi Wiseman. The documentation (pdf) says: Most timeline packages and solutions for LATEX are used to convey a lot of information and are therefore designed vertically. If you are just attempting to assign labels to dates, a more traditional timeline might be more appropriate. That’s what chronology is for. … Read more
Yes, from p.223 of the Beamer guide: To remove navigation symbols, \usenavigationsymbolstemplate{} Although it looks like the syntax has changed since then. This more recent page has: \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}%remove navigation symbols
You need to use a graphics library. Put this in your preamble: \usepackage{graphicx} You can then add images like this: \begin{figure}[ht!] \centering \includegraphics[width=90mm]{fixed_dome1.jpg} \caption{A simple caption \label{overflow}} \end{figure} This is the basic template I use in my documents. The position and size should be tweaked for your needs. Refer to the guide below for more … Read more
You can label each line separately, in your case: \begin{align} \lambda_i + \mu_i = 0 \label{eq:1}\\ \mu_i \xi_i = 0 \label{eq:2}\\ \lambda_i [y_i( w^T x_i + b) – 1 + \xi_i] = 0 \label{eq:3} \end{align} Note that this only works for AMS environments that are designed for multiple equations (as opposed to multiline single equations).

You can use \blacksquare ■: When creating TeX, Knuth provided the symbol ■ (solid black square), also called by mathematicians tombstone or Halmos symbol (after Paul Halmos, who pioneered its use as an equivalent of Q.E.D.). The tombstone is sometimes open: □ (hollow black square).
It’s easier with the enumitem package: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{enumitem} \begin{document} Less space: \begin{itemize}[noitemsep] \item foo \item bar \item baz \end{itemize} Even more compact: \begin{itemize}[noitemsep,nolistsep] \item foo \item bar \item baz \end{itemize} \end{document} The enumitem package provides a lot of features to customize bullets, numbering and lengths. The paralist package provides very compact lists: compactitem, compactenum and … Read more
Your problem is that all chapters, whether they’re in the appendix or not, default to starting on an odd-numbered page when you’re in two-sided layout mode. A few possible solutions: The simplest solution is to use the openany option to your document class, which makes chapters start on the next page, irrespective of whether it’s … Read more
You can try the cases env in amsmath. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{equation} f(x)=\begin{cases} 1, & \text{if $x<0$}.\\ 0, & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases} \end{equation} \end{document}
In pandoc you can even do:  See figure \ref{mylabel}.
