Symbols:General/Negation

Negation

 * $\not =, \ \not>, \ \not<, \ \not \ge, \ \not \le, \ \not \in, \ \not \exists, \ \not \subseteq, \ \not \subset, \ \not \supseteq, \ \not \supset$

The above symbols all mean the opposite of the non struck through version of the symbol.

For example, $x \not\in S$ means that $x$ is not an element of $S$.

The slash $/$ through a symbol can be used to reverse the meaning of essentially any mathematical symbol (especially relations), although it is used most frequently with those listed above.

The $\LaTeX$ code for negation is  followed by the code for whatever symbol you want to negate.

For example,  will render $\not \in$.

Note that several of the above relations also have their own $\LaTeX$ commands for their negations, for example  or   for , and   for.
