SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on troubleshooting LaTeX formatting issues specifically related to the expression for the "rotational inertia of a thick spherical shell." The user encountered problems with the numeral "2" not displaying correctly in the preview and receiving an error message upon submission. The error was attributed to an incorrect use of the backslash character before the numeral, which is not necessary in this context. Proper syntax is crucial for successful LaTeX rendering in forum posts.

#$%& latex problems!

Someone please look at my "rotational inertia of a thick spherical shell" post under "Classical Physics" please. First off, when I previewed my post, most came out ok, but the "2" in the numerator just would not show. But when I submitted the post, it said that I had done it incorrectly, I just got the error message.
