Re: [Phys-l] Newton's dot notation in LaTeX

So long as amsmath is enabled, \dddot{x} should give you what you want. 

See the following: 

\documentclass[english]{article} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
testing triple dots:
\[
\dddot{{x}}\]
\end{document}

Subject: [Phys-l] Newton's dot notation in LaTeX

I know how to get the first and second time derivatives using Newton's dot
notation in LaTeX (\dot{x} and \ddot{x}), but not the third.  Can you help?

Thanks,
Larry
