    Adding to Niel de Beaudrap’s answer, you might find display-style fractions run against each other in matrices. Use \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.25} after \begin{pmatrix} if you need to expand the matrix. 1.25 is just a suggested stretch value; play around with it to find what looks best in your document.

    @AstroPig7: See also Using display style fraction in a matrix environment. Note that although \arraystretch is an excellent suggestion, it doesn't quite do what one would expect. Commented Aug 15, 2012 at 19:24

    Sometimes I astound myself with my blockheadedness- I've been writing things like $a \cdot \begin{LARGE}\frac{b}{c}\end{LARGE}$ for years...
