Test math formula

[Dirk Enzmann]

This is a formula: [\ \frac{\pi^2}{2} \], ok?

[Dirk Enzmann]

No, the backslash goes before the square bracket: \[ \frac{\pi^{2}}{3} \] -- ok now?

[Dirk Enzmann]

Perhaps the line has to start with the bracket in a single line and to end with the bracket in a single line? Like this:
\]
\frac{\pi^{2}}{3}
\]

Testing math formula again:

This is a formula: \[ \frac{\pi^2}{2} \], ok?

[Dirk Enzmann]

\[ \mathbf{V}_1 \times \mathbf{V}_2 = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ \frac{\partial X}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial Y}{\partial u} & 0 \\ \frac{\partial X}{\partial v} & \frac{\partial Y}{\partial v} & 0 \end{vmatrix} \]

[Dirk Enzmann]

Yes, this does it.

An important advice is:

Note that when you first make a post or a reply with LaTeX in it, you may have to re-load the page you are on before you see the LaTeX rendered. It may appear as code until you do a fresh reload. Others who view the page will always see it properly, however.

Will it be possible to show the LaTeX code that will produce an inline formula like this \(\sqrt{3x-1}+(1+x)^2\)? I will try by simply putting code tags around a line containing inline LaTeX code:

An inline equation: \(\sqrt{3x-1}+(1+x)^2\), because it is nice to have the ability to mix math and text in a paragraph.
