Dear Jan,

Here are the LaTeX font size switching commands I know, ordered from small to large:

\tiny
\scriptsize % in small point sizes this is sometimes the same as \tiny
\footnotesize
\small
\normalsize % as the name suggests, this is the standard font size
\large
\Large
\LARGE
\huge
\Huge


You use them {\large like this}.

If you want to make mathematical text larger or smaller, you can switch the font size before entering mathematical mode, or you may be able to find some hints in the AMS LaTeX documentation: ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/amsldoc.pdf (AMS is the American Mathematical Society). The file amsldoc.pdf is installed by default in many modern LaTeX distributions, too. You may be able to find it on your own system using locate amsldoc.

Hope this helps,

Ned.
