MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine for LaTeX, MathML, and
|
|
|
|
|
AsciiMath notation that works in all modern browsers. It was designed with
|
|
|
|
|
the goal of consolidating the recent advances in web technologies into a
|
|
|
|
|
single, definitive, math-on-the-web platform supporting the major browsers
|
|
|
|
|
and operating systems. It requires no setup on the part of the user (no
|

|
|
|
plugins to download or software to install), so the page author can write
|
|
|
|
|
web documents that include mathematics and be confident that users will be
|
|
|
|
|
able to view it naturally and easily. Simply include MathJax and some
|
|
|
|
|
mathematics in a web page, and MathJax does the rest.
|
|
|
