Help On LaTeX Math Formulas
Math Formulas
There are three environments that put LaTeX in math mode: math,
displaymath, and equation. The math environment is for formulas that
appear right in the text. The displaymath environment is for formulas
that appear on their own line. The equation environment is the same
as the displaymath environment except that it adds an equation number
in the right margin.
The math environment can be used in both paragraph and LR mode, but
the displaymath and equation environments can be used only in
paragraph mode. The math and displaymath environments are used so
often that they have the following short forms:
\(...\) instead of \begin{math}...\end{math}
\[...\] instead of \begin{displaymath}...\end{displaymath}
In fact, the math environment is so common that it has an even shorter
form:
$ ... $ instead of \(...\)
