[Tex/LaTex] Curlier mathcal

fontsmathcal

If my document class is 'article' then I get the curlier N. The problem occurs when my document class is 'elsarticle' (Elsevier template). Presumably there's something that I can override?

As Mico had guessed, and you'd verified, you were loading non-standard calligraphic fonts in your document. By leaving the class options as default, or by adding the times option, you get two different results:

\documentclass{elsarticle}
%\documentclass[times]{elsarticle}

\begin{document}
$\mathcal{N}$
\end{document}

by default:

with times:
