Formatting

This page is dedicated to providing examples of how to mark up mathematics on this page. The idea is to simply list useful examples that people can cut/paste/modify.

One might be interested in an in-line equation like the following, \int _{a}^{b}f'(x)\;dx=f(b)-f(a), which of course is the fundamental theorem of calculus. Alternatively, one might like to see it displayed on its own line like so:

\int _{a}^{b}f'(x)\;dx=f(b)-f(a)

Words can of course be written in bold or italicized or external [links] can be provided. For a good overview of basic formatting try [here].

For help with math formatting, the following [page] seems particularly useful, since it shows how to display a lot of standard math effects, including some crazy ones like the following:

\sideset {_{1}^{2}}{_{3}^{4}}\prod _{a}^{b}\qquad \qquad {\text{and}}\qquad \qquad \underbrace {a+b+\cdots +z}_{{26{\text{ terms}}}}
