Math & Science ⇒ Unwanted extra Line Break around Equation

[Fstalmatski]

I have the following code.

Code: Select all

General expression for F-value (see for, example, SAS/Stat manual, \cite{SAS9.1STAT}) in this case takes a simple form
\begin{equation*}
F=\frac{({u_c}_i-{u_c}_j)^2}{c_{i,i}-2c_{i,j}+c_{j,j}}
\end{equation*}
Corresponding probability is computed using SAS function $probF$ (see
\cite{SAS9.3L}) as

The formula is displayed surrounded by multiple blank lines before and after. When I made experiment, repeating this passage twice, I have received the two formulas displayed on the same page. It seems, that Latex attempts to allocate all the stuff on the current page, and for some reason doesn't like to start next section on the current page. Any ideas?

For an adequate problem description please prepare a minimal example. Due to missing information it is not possible to give specific help.

For the present take a look at Sections 43.1—43.4 of the excellent »Math mode« document.

In fact, I have discovered already, that source of problem - next section, for some reason Latex wants to start it on the next page; making vertical alignment of the previous page. When I remove the next section, everything goes normal, next is bibliography.

It sounds like you use flushbottom mode, try the command \raggedbottom to see if the behavior changes. Then you can decide, which mode to use or if to fix it.
