A basic mathematical type-setting operation is to build up a display of
a form such as
/ 0 if t < 0,
f(t) = <
\ 1 if t >= 0.
where what I have typed here with the < sign, forward slash, and
backward slash stands for a large curly brace. This display is to
appear using Traditional math notation and to be part of a text cell.
How can one (preferably, easily) type such a thing in Mathematica?
I have read previous MathGroup posts about aligning on = signs and the
like, and none seem to respond to this entire question (and even
aligning on = signs for just several lines of equations is quite difficult).
