The discussion revolves around issues with LaTeX formatting in a post about the rotational inertia of a thick spherical shell. The user encountered problems where the numeral "2" did not display correctly in the preview and received an error message upon submission, indicating an incorrect format due to an unintended backslash before the numeral. The conversation highlights common challenges users face when using LaTeX for mathematical expressions in online forums.

#$%& latex problems!

Someone please look at my "rotational inertia of a thick spherical shell" post under "Classical Physics" please. First off, when I previewed my post, most came out ok, but the "2" in the numerator just would not show. But when I submitted the post, it said that I had done it incorrectly, I just got the error message.
