Math & Science ⇒ Formula exceeds the Width of the Page

[NELLLY]

Hi
I need the first equation to be at the same line. When I use the following, it exceeds the width of the page. Thanks.

Code: Select all

\begin{eqnarray*}
p_{i2}^{(1)}&=&P(CCC_t \in I_2|CCC_{t-1} \in I_i,
p=p_0)=\sum_{j=LCL_i}^{WL_i-1} p_0
(1-p_0)^{j-1}=(1-p_0)^{LCL_1-1}-(1-p_0)^{WL_1-1},\\
...&=&
\end{eqnarray*}

Depending on how you've set your margins, you could try to decrease the font size of the eqnarray environment and after the expression changing it back to the normal font size:

Code: Select all

\scriptsize
\begin{eqnarray*}
p_{i2}^{(1)}&=&P(CCC_t \in I_2|CCC_{t-1} \in I_i,
p=p_0)=\sum_{j=LCL_i}^{WL_i-1} p_0
(1-p_0)^{j-1}=(1-p_0)^{LCL_1-1}-(1-p_0)^{WL_1-1},\\
...&=&
\end{eqnarray*}
\normalsize

For me, \scriptsize gave no warning. Other standard fontsizes in LaTeX are for example \tiny, \footnotesize and \small.

For good reason you should not use the eqnarray environment any more [1]. Use the structures provided by the amsmath package instead and split the concerned lines in your equations.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}   % loads »amsmath«

\begin{document}
  \begin{align*}
    p_{i2}^{(1)} &= P(CCC_t \in I_2|CCC_{t-1} \in I_i, p=p_0) \\
                 &= \sum_{j=LCL_i}^{WL_i-1} p_0 (1-p_0)^{j-1}=(1-p_0)^{LCL_1-1}-(1-p_0)^{WL_1-1},\\
          \ldots &= \ldots
  \end{align*}
\end{document}
