Typing in [math]\therefore[/math] gives \therefore

Typing in [math]\because[/math] gives \because

How do you type in %? My webbrowser didn't wanna display the page when I created a LaTeX formula with % in it as always when something in the LaTeX code is wrong.

Typing [math]\sum_{i\ =\ 0}^n f(i)[/math] gives \sum_{i\ =\ 0}^n f(i), a Sigma sign as a sum sign. But how do you do if you want to have a multiplication sign, a Pi sign (\Pi) that works like the sum sign?

Is it possible to put a big cross all over the formula to make clear it is not true?

just say "not equal to"

Such as typing in [math]1\neq-1[/math] gives 1\neq-1

Can you make some part of the expression appear in another color?

Problems with \left and \right:

\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)
\left[\frac{x}{y}\right]
\left|\frac{x}{y}\right|
But [math]\left{\frac{x}{y}\right}[/math] doesn't work.

But:

[math]\left\{ \frac{x}{y}\right\} [/math]

\left\{ \frac{x}{y}\right\}

does.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert
