Insert math formula in Jupyter notebook

special character

1 $

• represent formula boundary, that is begin or end formula
• $$ — one formula a single line
• example:
  ex1: $f(x)=3x+7$, equal to $f(x)=3x+7$
  ex2: $$f(x)=3x+7$$ $$f(x)=3x+7$$

2 ^ , _

• ^ — superscript
• _ — subscript
  if super or sub script more than one character, use { } to enclose it
• example:
  ex1: $$\sum_{i=1}^n a_i = 0 $$ ; \ is escape character
  $$\sum_{i=1}^n a_i = 0$$
  ex2: $$f(x)=x^{x^x}$$ $$f(x)=x^{x^x}$$

3 \

• escape character

special word

4 \left \right

• left and right must appear at the same time
• why need \left \right, show me the example:
• $$(\frac{1}{2})$$ $$(\frac{1}{2})$$
• $$\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$$ $$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$$
• as you can see \left( more bigger than (, and show more beauty
• how to write segment funciton

4 \frac{numerator}{denominator}

• $$\frac{1}{2}$$ $$\frac{1}{2}$$

5 \partial

• $\frac{\partial y}{\partial \mathbf x}$

6 \mathbf \textbf

• bold font
• $\textbf {bold font}$ $$\textbf {bold font}$$
• $\mathbf {bold font}$ $$\mathbf {bold font}$$

7 \mbox

• insert text in eqution
• ex: $\mbox{this is text:} f(x)=3x$ $$\mbox{this is text:}\ f(x)=3x$$

8 \lgroup \rgroup

• ex: $\lgroup$ $$\lgroup$$

9 \begin{equation} \end{equation }

- ex: 
\begin{equation*}
f(x) = \left \{\begin{aligned}&1 \mbox { if true}\\&0 \mbox{ if false}\end{aligned}\right .
\end{equation*}

$$\begin{equation*} f(x) = \left \{\begin{aligned}&1 \mbox { if true}\\&0 \mbox{ if false}\end{aligned}\right . \end{equation*}$$
