SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on creating summation expressions using k and m variables in LaTeX. Users are encouraged to utilize the syntax \sum_{n=k ,m=1}^{k+1} and \sum_{p^{m} \le x \atop \text{p is prime }m \ge 1} for effective mathematical representation. The conversation highlights the importance of spacing and sizing in LaTeX expressions, suggesting the use of \substack for better alignment. Additionally, the subarray environment is recommended for aligning subscripts.
