    Have a look at “How to look up a math symbol?” for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.

    You can try detexify, it's very valuable for me, I am also a LaTeX beginner. You just draw on it and it gives you the LaTeX command for the symbol.

    If you want to reduce space between times operator and its operands, you may use: $medmuskip=0mu 3times3$ within text, as outlined by tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41913/…
