Could you give an example in Latex?

[Loren Booda]

Main Question or Discussion Point

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
$$b_Z = \prod_{n=1}^N (b_n - 1)$$

I doubt it's what you want, but it is hard to parse the English description.

sylas,

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