This reference sheet is intended for those seeking some clarity about inline math and LaTeX equation syntax, the only math function available in Notion. LaTeX is a wonderful tool, and with a little practice, is easy to use. I'm going to show you some common elements below, including fractions, brackets, operators, etc.
*Note: trigger LaTeX with "/math"

Brackets & Parenthesis

\{ x+y \}
\langle x+y \rangle
|x+y|
\|x+y\|

Bracket Sizing & Adjustment

\big( \Big( \bigg( \Bigg(
\big) \Big) \bigg) \Bigg)
Etc ...
\left and \right can dynamically adjust the size as well β†’ EXAMPLES β†’
Β 
\Bigg \langle 3x+7 \bigg \rangle
F = G \left( \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \right)
\left[ \frac{ N } { \left( \frac{L}{p} \right) - (m+n) } \right]

Fractions & Binomials

\frac{1}{2}
\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}
Β 
f(x)=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} \ \ \textrm{and} \ \ f(x)=\textstyle\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}
\frac{1+\frac{a}{b}}{1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{a}}}

Write Superscripts & Subscripts

x^n + y^n = z^n
a_1^2 + a_2^2 = a_3^2
x^{2 \alpha} - 1 = y_{ij} + y_{ij}
(a^n)^{r+s} = a^{nr+ns}

Write Operators using subscripts & superscripts

\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s} = \prod_p \frac{1}{1 - p^{-s}}

Additional Examples: Operators / Superscripts & Subscripts

a_{n_i}
\int_{i=1}^n
\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}
\prod_{i=1}^n
\cup_{i=1}^n
\cap_{i=1}^n
\oint_{i=1}^n
\coprod_{i=1}^n
