Latex Reference for New Users: Integral Help

In summary, the conversation was about finding a LaTeX reference for new users and how to post an infinite integral with correct formatting. Suggestions were offered, including checking a sticky thread and clicking on the TeX in a similar thread to view the source. A specific URL was also provided for further help with LaTeX math typesetting.

Is there a Latex reference for new users? I was unable to figure out how to post an infinite integral with which I need help. I got the integral sign to post and also the upper boundary but could not get the integrand or lower boundary to appear correctly.

thanks

I thought there was a sticky thread around here someplace, but I can't seem to find it. In the meantime one way is to fish around for a thread similar to your's and click on the TeX. It should pop up a window showing you the TeX source they used to do it.

Thanks, I did try that, tried copy/paste.

I will check the URL Rocophysics just posted.
