To get a single left curly bracket use $left{ ldots right.$. Any type of bracket supported by LaTeX in maths mode can replace the curly bracket. Note the full stop. To get a single bracket on the right hand side, swap the bracket type and the full stop: $left. ldots right}$.

I can’t remember where I found this, but it was on a forum explaining how to do one bracket with multiple lines of text inside it.
