to split a long, multiline formula over two lines, import the “amsmath” package and use the “split command” and double slashes.

for instance, to produce the above equation, use the following code:

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{split}
\arg\max_\Theta\left[\sum_zP(\mathcal{G}|\mathcal{D},\mathcal{S})
P(\mathcal{G}|\mathcal{S},\Theta_n)\log{P(\mathcal{D}|\mathcal{G},
\mathcal{S},\Theta)}\right. \\
+
\left.\sum_zP(\mathcal{G}|\mathcal{D},\mathcal{S})P(\mathcal{G}|
\mathcal{S},\Theta_n)\log{P(\mathcal{D}|\mathcal{G},\mathcal{S},\Theta)}\right]
\end{split}

Stumble it!

    Great tip! do you know a good way to guaranty that in your example, the square brakets are the same size.
    In your example they look similar in height but this is only a coincidence if the top line didn’t have a \sum then the brakets will have different sizes.

    I am having that problem right now. (I know you can hack it and add a invisible symbols but thats not the solution I am looking for).
