LaTeX How do I get LaTeX to put the infinity on top of the SUM symboL

AI Thread Summary
To create a power series in LaTeX with the correct formatting, use the command "sum" instead of "Sigma." The proper syntax for displaying the series with the infinity symbol on top and k=0 at the bottom is: u = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k x^k. This format ensures the series is presented clearly and follows standard mathematical notation.

I need to make a power series in LaTex that looks like this
u = \Sigma^{\infty}_{k=0} a_kx^k

But I wan the infinity on top of the sum and the k=0 on the bottom like normal setting out but I can't find out how to do it?
Hopefully someone from here can show me! Thanks

Use "sum" instead of "Sigma":
