O

omikron (lower case greek letter)

$$o$$ gives $o$

(note this exceptional syntax!)

P

parentheses

Syntax: \left(...\right) or $...$
Ex.: $$2a\left(b+c\right)$$ gives

$2a\left(b+c\right)$

phi (lower case greek letter)

$$\phi$$ gives

$\phi$

Phi (upper case greek letter)

$$\Phi$$ gives

$\Phi$

pi

$$x=\pi r^2$$ is $x=\pi r^2$

Keyword(s):

pi (lower case greek letter)

$$\pi$$ gives

$\pi$

Pi (upper case greek letter)

$$\Pi$$ gives

$\Pi$

plus

$$+$$ is

$+$

Keyword(s):

plus minus

$$a\pm~b$$ gives

$a\pm~b$

product

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 product symbol:

$$\bigprod_{i=k}^{n}$$ gives

$\bigprod_{i=k}^{n}$

and

$$\prod_{i=k}^{n}$$ gives

$\prod_{i=k}^{n}$

Use font size commands for a nicer picture:

$$\LARGE\bigprod_{\tiny{i=k}}^{\tiny{n}}$$ gives

$\LARGE\bigprod_{\tiny{i=k}}^{\tiny{n}}$

and

$$\large\prod_{\small{i=k}}^{\small{n}}$$ gives

$\large\prod_{\small{i=k}}^{\small{n}}$
