is ConTeXt prepared for math?
With regard to mathematics ConTeXt can do all things which plain TeX can.
I mean...can I do... $\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{i}}$ as I used to in LaTeX?
Yes. For displaymath you can use plain TeX's $$\sum$$ or better \placeformula \startformula \stopfromula (LaTeX's \[ ... \] doesn't work.)
I don't make the \Sigma to be under and over characterised by i=1 and n.
In inline math you need \limits\sum if you want to have the i=1 below and the n above the sum sign. If I'm not mistaken, LaTeX does the same. Regards, Tobias
