Use \frac{5}{\sqrt{25}} - the first argument of \frac lets you specify the numerator, the second will give you the denominator.

I saw on the announcements that blike's upgraded some stuff. He probably forgot to put the latex code back in.

What do you mean by abreviations. LaTeX doesn't use any abreviations in Greek letters. \alpha is just \alpha, \beta is just \beta, \gamma is \gamma, and the capital letters are A is A, B is B, and \Gamma is \Gamma. No abreviations.

test:\lambda

some sybols use abbreviations. like infinity isnt\infty, it is \infty or square root, or fration. i just assumed that some of them would be abbreviated

lambda, not lamda. all greek letters are given by slash(full name), capitalized for capital letters.

there is also varphi and varrho if you like that kind of thing

You don't need the \[ and \]. All of the stuff encapsulated by math tags is already put into the displaymath environment.
