I'm currently writing an acedemic paper on the topic of computation time. I have to include several equations similar to the following:

O(N2)

I am wondering if there is any special formatting or citing I would have to do for the above equation if I am writing this paper in MLA style.

There are a set of rules to go by when writing equations into an academic paper. Depending on the kind of equation, it'll be one of three types:

In-line equations
Displayed, but unnumbered, equations
Displayed and numbered equations

In this case, O(N2) is an In-line equation. Given that, the only changes to be done would be to italicize the characters 'O' and 'N'. Rather than writing out O(N2), you should instead use O(N2).
