[Tex/LaTex] Exponential function

equations

I have a problem creating an exponential function in equation mode in Latex. I would like to have this exponential function: exponential^((y^2)/4). Does anyone know have to do that?

In the equation environment, you shouldn't use the $ sign(*):

\begin{equation} e^{y^2/4} \end{equation}

\begin{equation} e^{\frac{1}{4} y^2} \end{equation}

should work.

(*) Except in such cases:

\begin{equation} x=0 \text{ if $x$ and $y$ are nice people} \end{equation}

Are you maybe looking for the following?

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}  % for \text macro
\usepackage{amssymb}  % for \mathbb macro
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\{ u_t(x,t)=u_{xx}(x,t)\}, \text{ where $\epsilon\in\mathbb{R}$ and $t>0$}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Alternatively, might you be looking for the following?

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}  % for \text macro

[Tex/LaTex] How to add a footnote to an equation number

Here is a solution, with the \newtagform, usetagform commands from mathtools. However, you can't use \eqref nor \cref for equations with footnotes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\newtagform{fn}{(}{)\footnotemark}

\begin{document}

\usetagform{fn}
\begin{equation}\label{eq1}
  a=b
\end{equation}
\footnotetext{Some text. }
Equation (\ref{eq1}) is a good equation.
\usetagform{default}
\begin{equation}\label{eq2}
  c = d
\end{equation}

\end{document}
