nwarrow
Represents a northwest-pointing arrow, commonly used in mathematical diagrams and commutative diagrams.
Overview
Serves as a directional indicator in mathematical notation, particularly useful in category theory, abstract algebra, and diagram construction.
- Essential for creating commutative diagrams showing morphisms or mappings between objects
- Often paired with other directional arrows like \searrow to illustrate relationships or transformations
- Frequently used in advanced mathematics to demonstrate structural connections or mathematical workflows
- Appears in textbooks and academic papers when illustrating abstract concepts or multi-step processes
Examples
Showing the northwest direction in a coordinate plane transformation.
