Formatting – How to Centre Substack in Multiple Summations
formatting
This seems like it would be easy to do so pardon my inexperience but is it possible to centre a secondary line such that it is between both sums, whether using substack or by other means.
I currently have:
Thanks in advance!

You can use stackengine to achieve it, though the space before the a_{ij} must be manually inserted. I show the standard expression (without the secondary subscript) to compare the spacing.
You might want to take a look at Jeff Tupper's self-referential formula (link) or its derivatives (link). Or you may consider throwing in a little String Theory (link). Strictly speaking it might not be mathematics but it's still nice.
It isn't directly related to tables other than that is a large unbreakable box. The extra white space on page 2 is not inter-line space but inter-paragraph space. In the book class that is 0 but slightly stretchy. book class defaults to \flushbottom so it tries to bring the last line to the bottom of the page, and on that page the only stretch glue is the paragraph skip. You can add \raggedbottom to the preamble (or anywhere before that page) and then the page will be allowed to be short without stretching the space. Of course it is to avoid these problems that it is normal to put large tables and images into a floating environment such as table so that LaTeX can move the table to avoid problems with white space at the page break.
