I want to do something like the following in Math Mode: * <---- (footnote) a + b = c [ ... ] -------------- * this is the footnote text But after looking through the LaTeX book, I still can't figure out how this can be done. Can some LaTeXperts out there enlighten me on the subject? Thanks in advance! - Thuy (tle@ucrmath.ucr.edu)

One of the standard rules of thumb of writing style is to never put footnotes in mathematical formulae. The (numerical) superscripts can be misinterpreted as powers, and if you use \fnsymbol, the \ast \dagger, etc could be confused with mathematical operators. = Sanjay
