^
or**
- Example:
a^2
ora**2
- Example:
- Square Root:
sqrt()
- Example:
sqrt(a)
- Example:
Fractions
- Fraction:

These are some basic elements you can use in Notion to create mathematical equations and expressions. Remember to use backslashes for special symbols and Greek letters. The sum()
and product()
functions can be used for summation and product notations. Experiment and combine these elements to build complex equations within Notion.
