MathJax turns LaTeX markup into beautiful formulae

This site supports typesetting mathematical formula with AMS-LaTeX markup, powered by the MathJax rendering engine.

Entering math mode

Surround the TeX code with dollar signs to insert an inline equation

The integers $x,y,z$ form a Pythagorean triplet when $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$.

and use double dollar signs to insert an equation in its own line

The Bessel functions $J_n(x)$ and $Y_n(x)$ are
solutions to the Bessel equation
$$ x^2 y'' + x y' + (x^2 - n^2) y = 0 $$
where $n$ is a constant.

Basic LaTeX markup

  • Superscript and subscript — x^2, a_n, a_{n+1}, H_n^{(2)}

  • Spacing — a\ b (text space). Other kinds of spacing.

  • Square root and radicals — \sqrt{x}, \sqrt[3]{x}

  • Fraction — \frac{a}{b}

  • Sum and integral — \sum_{k=0}^n k^2, \int_0^1 x^3 dx

  • Greek letters — \alpha (α) to \omega (ω); \Gamma (Γ) to \Omega (Ω)

  • Symbols — \ne (≠), \ge (≥), \le (≤), \sim (∼), \pm (±), \to (→), \infty (∞), etc.

  • Function names — \sin, \cos, \log, \lim, etc.
