To make the \sum symbol larger in the AMSMATH package, use the command $\displaystyle \sum$ in your TeX file. This command ensures that the summation symbol is displayed in its larger form, enhancing visibility. The difference can be observed when comparing the standard \sum with the larger version. This adjustment is straightforward and improves the overall presentation of mathematical expressions. Proper usage of the AMSMATH package can significantly enhance document formatting.

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
