### 16.4 Math accents

LaTeX provides a variety of commands for producing accented letters in math. These are different from accents in normal text (see Accents).

`\acute`

  Math acute accent

`\bar`

  Math bar-over accent

`\breve`

  Math breve accent

`\check`

  Math háček (check) accent

`\ddot`

  Math dieresis accent

`\dot`

  Math dot accent

`\grave`

  Math grave accent

`\hat`

  Math hat (circumflex) accent

`\mathring`

  Math ring accent

`\tilde`

  Math tilde accent

`\vec`

  Math vector symbol

`\widehat`

  Math wide hat accent

`\widetilde`

  Math wide tilde accent

When you are putting an accent on an i or a j, the tradition is to use one without a dot, `\imath` or `jmath` (see Math symbols).
