is ConTeXt prepared for math? I mean...can I do... $\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{i}}$ as I used to in LaTeX ? I don't make the \Sigma to be under and over characterised by i=1 and n. Jose

With regard to mathematics ConTeXt can do all things which plain TeX can.

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

Hi Jose, Indeed ConTeXt contains all the plain TeX commands and you can use them (in this case \sum). So these formulas give what you want $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$ (for the summation) $\prod_{i=1}^{i=n} (1+x_i)$ (for the product), and so on. For the displayed version you can use either $$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$$ or \startformula \sum_{i=1}^n x_i \stopformula Best regards: OK
