My former page setup is \usepackage[body={6.0in, 9.0in},left=1.25in,right=1.25in, top=1.0in]{geometry}
Now switch to:
\setlength{\topmargin}{-2cm} \setlength{\headsep}{2.2cm}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{.7cm} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{.7cm}
\setlength{\textheight}{22.5cm} \setlength{\textwidth}{15.2cm}

try this: $\displaystyle \lim_i x$
