How to enter mathematics

Mathematics can be included using LaTeX notation enclosed in double dollar signs, [math] [/math] or [display] [/display] tags. For example
  • $$ s^2 = \frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_i - \overline{x} \right)^2 $$ for $$ s^2 = \frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_i - \overline{x} \right)^2 $$
  • [display] \int_{-\infty }^{y}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2 }}\exp \left( -\frac{1}{2\sigma ^{2}}\left( x-\mu \right) ^{2}\right) dx [/display] for [display] \int_{-\infty }^{y}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2 }}\exp \left( -\frac{1}{2\sigma ^{2}}\left( x-\mu \right) ^{2}\right) dx [/display]
  • Note that you must select the LaTeX input format for this to work!
  • Also, the double dollar construct is not guaranteed to work. It is safer to use the [math] ... [/math] construct.
