Help us improve and expand the OpenSim documentation! Once you create an account on confluence, just send us a message and we will add you to the documentation editor group so that you will be able to make edits to our documentation wiki. The site tracks contributors, so you will get credit for your efforts. Before you make changes please review our guidelines.
...
- Page Format
- You shouldn't make a text-only page with no headings within the pages and no graphics.
- You shouldn't try and make your page stand alone. Reference other existing pages in the wiki for clarity.
- Content
- You shouldn't create pages with unrelated topics
- You shouldn't make pages about your personal research. Information about how you're using OpenSim belongs in the user's forum or on your personal SimTK project page.

\left(\, \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \le \left(\, \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left(\, \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right) |
by choosing Insert → LaTeX Math Block. Then enter the following in the LaTeX Math Formula macro Block box:
\left(\, \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \le \left(\, \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left(\, \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)
