Use LaTeX to typeset
the following monstrosity, which
is described by Michael Spivak in his book The Joy of
TeX (second edition, page 123, Exercise 18.11) as "a
virtual mine field of potential typing
errors." Use \newcommand to define macros to simplify
the typing.
Here are two stylistic points to keep in mind.
In compound fractions, the second-level fraction tends to
be too small. If you type the second-level fraction as
\displaystyle\frac instead of \frac, it will be
bigger. (If you \usepackage{amsmath}, then you can
type \dfrac instead of \displaystyle\frac.)
To get parentheses that adjust themselves to the size of
the enclosed material, use \left( and \right)
instead of just ( and ).
