When I use the code below the subscript j appears to the side of the sum symbol, not underneath. Has anyone got any idea what I'm doing wrong?

\begin{equation}
    \Delta{t}\leq\left[{C_i}\over{{\sum_{j}}{\frac{1}{R_{ij}}}}\right]_{min}
    \label{eq:stability_criteria_3}
\end{equation}

  • Please put your code in Code Samples (the '{}'-button) to make it more readable – Didii Jul 23 '12 at 13:56

    In LaTeX, rather use \frac{<num>}{<denom>} than <num>\over<denom>. – Werner Jul 23 '12 at 14:18

Consider using \limits as in the following: 

    \begin{equation}
\Delta{t}\leq\left[{C_i}\over{{\sum \limits_{j}}{\frac{1}{R_{ij}}}}\right]_{min}
\label{eq:stability_criteria_3}
     \end{equation}

(Doesn't this make this ugly though?)

Adding a \displaystyle does the job.

\begin{equation} \Delta{t}\leq\left[{C_i}\over{{\displaystyle \sum_{j}}{\frac{1}{R_{ij}}}}\right]_{min} \label{eq:stability_criteria_3} \end{equation}

  • The \displaystyle instruction will change both the size of the summation symbol and the default placement of the limit(s) of summation. – Mico Dec 20 '12 at 13:24
