It shows the different ways to display mathematical equations using LaTeX code, including using braces, over and under braces, and binomial coefficients. The last example demonstrates how to create a horizontal line with text on top using the \rlap command. In summary, the conversation highlights various ways to display mathematical equations using LaTeX code.
