I am trying to create a bit of text, where I have four bullet points, the latter three of which have a curly brace on the right } , and a line of text adjacent to the curly brace.
So far, I have managed to get the curly brace next to the three lines of text, but can not get bullet points, and the first line of text is not lined up with the corresponding three.
If this makes sense, can someone please advise me on how to fix it?
The code I have is:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,amsthm,graphicx,tabularx}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{cor}[thm]{Corollary}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition}
\theoremstyle{remark}
\newtheorem{rem}[thm]{Remark}
\numberwithin{equation}{section}
\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}
\newcommand{\C}{\mathbb C}
\newcommand{\eps}{\varepsilon}
\makeatletter
\setlength{\@fptop}{0pt}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Riemann Sum\\
\[\left\ \begin{array}{l l l}
\text{Trapezoidal Rule}\\
\text{Simpson's 1/3 Rule}\\
\text{Simpson's 3/8 Rule}\\
\end{array} \right\} \right.\ - \text{Newton Cotes formulae of different degrees}
\end{document}

Instead of the layout you currently have, you should use an
itemize
the way it's intended:Due to the positioning of the contents, a
\right\}
brace is inserted alongside the middle item,\smash
