Dear all, I had one problem on the use of parenthesis: In Sets, we do
like S:{a,x}..Note the parenthesis... When I did the same in latex,
only the content in the { } are shown and not the parenthesis. May I
know how to get the symbol to show up?


In TeX, the symbols { and } are used for grouping. If you want
the actual characters { and } to appear in your document, use
\{ and \} instead.
