I want insert this math equation into my paper:

Math rockz!

However, the part in the brackets make me confused. I google math equation in LaTeX but find no relavent information. This is what I alreadly have now:

$MR(e) = \Pi_{(R_{i}.ID, R_{j}.ID)}()$

Could you please help me to fill in the brackets.

    Please try to specify your problem (and edit the title accordingly). Are you struggling with any of the symbols? Then have a look at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-symbol. Is it the putting text on top of other text? Then specify that, please. – doncherry Jan 17 '12 at 16:46

First, never use $\Pi$ when you obviously mean $\prod$. Second, I guess dots here between $R_i$ and $ID$ should be centered.

Here is what I got:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\DeclareMathOperator{\Dist}{Dist}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{displaymath}
  MR(e) = \prod_{(R_i\cdot ID, R_j\cdot ID)}
  \underset{\Dist_{sp}(r_i,r_j)\le\delta}{(R_i\bowtie R_j)} 
\end{displaymath}
\end{document}

  • I am appreciate for your help. One more question, do you know how to add this into a algorithm after \state(I use algorithms package). I know how to insert use $ $ method, but don't know how to use \begin{dispalymath} \end{dispalymath} – user1069771 Jan 17 '12 at 16:54
  • Use this: $MR(e) = \prod_{(R_i\cdot ID, R_j\cdot ID)} \underset{\Dist_{sp}(r_i,r_j)\le\delta}{(R_i\bowtie R_j)}$. Note that the expression under \prod symbol becomes inline rather than under it: this is because you move from display math to inline math. – Boris Jan 17 '12 at 16:57
