how to write summation (complete with the limits thing)

hartnn (hartnn):

`\(\sum_{a}^{b}\)` will give u \(\sum_{a}^{b}\)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no not like that

hartnn (hartnn):

then ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

see satellite's comments http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/507e8b8be4b0599919841e26

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\sum_{a = 1}^{\infty}a\]

Parth (parthkohli):

And if you wanna write it inline, then use \limits.\(\sum \limits_{a = 1}^{\infty}a\)

Parth (parthkohli):

@hartnn The correct code for inline is given below: ``` \(\sum \limits_{a}^{b}\) ```

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can also use \displaystyle in from of it so \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n gives \[\displaystyle\sum_{i+1}^n\] It also works for \lim, \prod etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\displaystyle \lim_{h\to 0} \] \displaystyle\lim_{h\to 0}
