Hi,
I think the formatting may be different inside a function assignment. This is what I get when I use the following syntax:
$function = "$numer/$denom [pi + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}($sum_numer/($sum_denom_n_coeff n - $sum_denom_const))*sin($w nt)]";

Did I mess up the syntax?

Hi,
It’s \sum
as in
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}
