+Special integral symbols
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+Standard LaTeX does only provide a very limited set of integral symbols.
+ Therefore several packages implement additional symbols, e.g.\InsetSpace ~
+moredimensional
+ integrals like
+\begin_inset Formula $\iint$
+\end_inset
+
+ (
+\family typewriter
+
+\backslash
+iint
+\family default

+ Unfortunately they do not always look consistent, e.g.\InsetSpace ~

+\family typewriter

+\begin_inset Formula $\varint$

+\family default
+), not
+\family typewriter
+
+\begin_inset Formula $\int$
+\end_inset
+
+ (
+\backslash
+int
+\family default

+ Therefore you should enable the automatic loading of the
+\family typewriter

+ This package defines a complete set of consistent looking integral symbols.
+ You can find most of them in the math panel.
+ This document does use the
+\family typewriter
+wasysym
+\family default
+ package instead of the
+\family typewriter
+esint
