Text Formatting ⇒ Summation Limits above and below

[creichert]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to get my upper and lower limits above and below the summation sign without going into display mode, because that puts it in the middle of the page and it's too big.

I'm currently using: $\sum^V_{k=1}$, which is an in-line style. I'm trying to get the limits of V and k=1 above and below the summation sign.


Thanks for the help
Charles

Hi Charles,

for limits above and below the inline summation sign, use

Code: Select all

$\sum\limits^V_{k=1}$

or, with bigger summation sign

Code: Select all

$\displaystyle\sum^V_{k=1}$
