Um, I still don't know what it looks like. I know mod and there is a range of numbers it seems and an i to the power of two, but I really have no idea what the other symbols mean or if their position/layout in that fashion is important. I can probably reverse engineer what the mathematician writes by reading the code but I'm still confused as to why many articles about software assume a complete mathematics syntax knowledge.

I'm not sure what the third line is supposed to look like, but I guess it's a filter. So: Sum i^2 where i is in the set {1,2,3,4,5} and i % 3 = 1.
- darkkindness 7y agoAgreed, I think the syntax used is not that common. (This is a problem, I think, with math notation -- everyone's notation means different things, google "substitution notation history" for the worst.) They definitely meant to write: https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\sum_{\substack{i\in[1,5]\\i\mod&space;3=1}}&space;i^2 https://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\sum_{\substack{i\in[1,... "sum of all i² where i is in [1,5] and i mod 3 = 1".
