When I type this

\footnote{ http://www.cems.uvm.edu/~tlakoba/math337/notes_12.pdf. Page 3.}

LaTeX inputs $ $ in for me when I do not want them. How can I stop this from happening?

    If you don't want to use \url as Sigur mentoined, you can simply escape the _ by typing \_ this just prints the _. – Dave Apr 24 '13 at 22:23
  • @Dave, well done. But the problem would be with the tilde. – Sigur Apr 24 '13 at 22:34
  • I think the expedient response deserves and accept, so maybe don't close it now it's done with. – user27182 Apr 24 '13 at 22:46

The problem is the underline. Use the command \url{} from the url package.

\usepackage{url}
