C
cdot (multiplication) $$a\cdot~b$$ gives |

chi (lower case greek letter) $$\chi$$ gives |

constants - Numbers in formulas are interpreted as constants and they are rendered in non-italic roman font face, which is a widely used convention.
- Following this convention, variables are shown in italic.
- Exp.: $$f(x)=3a+x$$ gives

contour integral - General syntax for symbols with a kind of lower and upper limits:
\symbolname_{lowerexpression}^{upperexpression} - In general, there are two ways how these lower and upper expressions can be placed: centered below and above the symbol or in a subscript / superscript manner. In the first case the symbol name is preceded by the word "big", in the second there is no prefix.
- Syntax for the contour integral symbol:
$$\bigoint_{0}^{\infty}$$ gives
and $$\oint_{0}^{\infty}$$ gives 
$$\LARGE\bigoint_{\small0}^{\small\infty}$$ gives
and $$\large\oint_{\small0}^{\small\infty}$$ gives  |

coproduct - General syntax for symbols with a kind of lower and upper limits:
\symbolname_{lowerexpression}^{upperexpression} - In general, there are two ways how these lower and upper expressions can be placed: centered below and above the symbol or in a subscript / superscript manner. In the first case the symbol name is preceded by the word "big", in the second there is no prefix.
- Note: mimeTeX seems currently only to support the \bigcoprod command.
- Syntax for coproduct symbol:
$$\bigcoprod_{i=k}^{n}$$ gives
$$\LARGE\bigcoprod_{\small{i=k}}^{\small~n}$$ gives  |
