Dear all,

I have the following displayed math in a little project:

P(s,n,k) = \frac{\binom{13-s}{k} \binom{13-s}{n-k} }{\binom{26-2s}{n}}

It displays fine except that the font size for the fraction is (much) smaller than expected. 

The readibility suffers from this reduction of font size. Is there something that I can do or do I have to live with that behaviour? (local PreTeXt is up-to-date).

Thanks
Klaus

Is the equation inline (using <m>) or displayed (using <md>)?

If the former, you could use \dfrac instead of \frac to make it bigger.

Thanks, but as mentioned it is displayed math (<md>).

Try this: 

P(s,n,k) = \frac{\displaystyle\binom{13-s}{k} \binom{13-s}{n-k} }{\displaystyle\binom{26-2s}{n}}
