I use Plain TeX myself, and don't know anything about LaTeX. I've given the plain TeX source which does the things he wants to do. % ---------- \def\blank{\vskip 8pt} Here is an attempt at a display: ${\int \int \cdots \int} \atop { {\scriptstyle x_1 + \ldots + x_n \le 1} \atop {\scriptstyle x_1 \ge 0} } $ This should have come out in the middle of a sentence. Did it? \blank Next, we'll try to display it: \blank $$ {\displaystyle \int \int \cdots \int} \atop { {\scriptstyle x_1 + \ldots + x_n \le 1} \atop {\scriptstyle x_1 \ge 0} } $$ \blank Here is something else: $\max_{ {1 \le i \le n} \atop {1 \le j \le n} } f(i,j) = 4$. Did it work? \blank Now we'll display it: $$ \max_{ {1 \le i \le n} \atop {1 \le j \le n} } f(i,j) = 4 $$ What about binomial coefficients on top of sums? $$\sum_{i=0}^{n \choose k} {{n + 2} \choose i}\ x^i y^{n-i}$$ \blank % ---------- -- Bruce Ikenaga --------------------------------------------------- US mail: Dept. of Math, CWRU, Cleveland, Ohio 44106 E-mail : bxi@po.CWRU.edu
