Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the possibility of including specific lines of text in the notation of a summation, particularly at the bottom of the summation symbol. It also touches on formatting text in cursive within mathematical expressions.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about including the lines "m,n" and "m+n=k" at the bottom of the summation symbol.
  • Another participant provides a mathematical representation using LaTeX to show how to include the specified lines in the summation.
  • A different participant asks about formatting a differential operator in cursive within a mathematical expression.
  • Responses include LaTeX representations for the differential operator, suggesting a way to achieve the desired formatting.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants appear to provide solutions to the inquiries, but there is no explicit consensus on the formatting methods as further questions are raised.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express gratitude for the assistance, indicating a collaborative atmosphere. However, the discussion does not resolve all aspects of the formatting questions posed.

Hy everyone!

I want to include this two lines:
m,n
m+n=k
but only in the bottom of the sumatory. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance for the help!

\sum_{\substack{m,n\\m+n=k}}

[tex]\sum_{\substack{m,n\\m+n=k}}[/tex]
 
Awesome! Thank U very much!

Can I ask U something else? Do you know if I can include text in cursive? The sentence is

[tex]\textbf{L} (U) = f(x)[/tex]

where L (that should be in cursive) is a differential operator like
[tex]\frac{\partial}{\partial x}[/tex]

Thanks in advance again!

\mathcal L(U) = f(x)

[tex]\mathcal L(U) = f(x)[/tex]
 
Wow DH! Thank U very very much! My work is perfect now.

GRACIAS! DANKE! OBRIGADA! = THANKS!

We call this symbol - [itex]\sum[/itex] -- a summation, in English.
