LaTeX Tutorial: How to write mathematical equations in LaTeX

Those who use LaTeX for their documentation related works, usually are from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) background. These people use equations more often than not. Therefore, I will introduce how to write equations in LaTeX today.

In this tutorial we will go over following features:

• Latex amsmath package 
• Latex equation environment 
• Using Simple equations like x = y + z 
• Using Summation in equations 
•  Using Integration in equations 
• Using Cases in equation (if condition based values of a variable) 
• Using fractions to write multiple-row equations

Watch the following video to learn how to do these things:

The code used in this Video can be found below:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{equation}
%x = y + z
%f(x) = x ^ 2
%f(x) = x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + ......+ x_n
%f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} {x_i}
%f(x) = \int_{i=1}^{n}{x_i}
%X=
%\begin{cases}
%5, \text{if X is divisible by 5}
%\\
%10, \text {if X is divisible by 10}
%\\
%-1, \text {otherwise}
%\end{cases}
X =
\frac{\substack{\sum_{i=1}^{n} {x_i}}}
{\substack{\sum_{i=20}^{50} {x_i}}}
\end{equation}
