Use [tex] and [/tex] tags NOT [math] and [/math] tags for latex.

Read the post title.

This is due to some technical issues recently experienced by MHF.

Thanks for taking the initiative to make this thread. I think I will make a forum wide announcement regarding this.

EDIT: Forum-wide announcement has been made.

Might also be useful to mention that the [tex][/tex] environment doesn't like "returns" or "enters" or "carriage returns" or "line feeds" in its code, unlike regular LaTeX. That's what gives you those annoying symbols in the result. Example:

[TEX]
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}\,dx=\sqrt{\pi}
[/TEX]

yields

$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}\,dx=\sqrt{\pi}. $

But

[TEX]\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}\,dx=\sqrt{\pi}[/TEX] yields

$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}\,dx=\sqrt{\pi}.$

I just noticed that in one of the posts made here: http://www.mathhelpforum.com/math-he...ms-180257.html

It may have to do with the way it is interpreted by the site that I'm using to power the [tex] brackets...I'll look into this soon.

$Let (X; dX) and (Y; dY ) be two\ metric\ spaces\ and\ f : X \rightarrow Y be\ a\ mapping. Then\ f \is\ continuous\ at\ a \epsilon\ X if\ and\ only\ if\ for\ every\ neighborhood\ V\ of\ f(a)\ there\ exists\ neighborhood\ U\ of\ a\ such\ that\ f(U)\subset V\\ Prove\ this\ theorem$

Any attempts will be thanked.

how on earth do i make the maths notated part font larger? thnx.

What do you mean by "larger"?
Is this not large enough $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{10} {x^k }~?$

Only put your equations in tex tags, not plain text.

sorry but I can't see the difference in your title. Should it be $and$ NOT [tex] and [\tex]?

Yeah I'm a little confused as well.

I don't understand the what the head is saying?

**skeeter** · November 8th 2012, 01:36 PM

it was a typo in the title of the original post ... let it die, folks.

$3x^2+4ix+5<0$ , $i^2=-1$ .

Another way:
[tex]3x^2 + 4ix + 5 < 0,~i^2 = -1[/tex]

$3x^2 + 4ix + 5 < 0,~i^2 = -1$

Just a reminder for those who already have MathType -- you can use it here on MHF, and it formats the math properly. We have instructions on our website describing how to do that.
