   I would like an example in Latex of a product with indices n=1 to N for b_N, all minus 1, finally equal to b_Z. I have not been able to find the original Latex tutorials.

   Have a look at [thread=8997]Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting[/thread].
   
   In the meantime, do you mean
   [tex] b_Z = \prod_{n=1}^N (b_n - 1)[/tex]
   
   I doubt it's what you want, but it is hard to parse the English description.
   
   Cheers -- sylas

   sylas,
   
   You did well to decipher my description, excepting that the "-1" would appear outside of the product. Thank you for cheering me up.
