An inline formula is just that: math typeset within 
a sentence beside the text.  A display formula stands alone: 
it is not surrounded by text on the sides.

You can find a good discussion of the environments in the 
LaTeX Companion.  It takes several pages ...

The usual advice is not to use eqnarray.
