MediaWiki User Guide/Mathematics

You can enter mathematical formulas into a wiki, using a  tag, such as:

$$\sqrt{2}$$

The formulas are marked up in the TeX markup, the markup of a complex typesetting system specialized on mathematics.

Before you start writing formulas in this markup, you can consider writing the simpler ones in HTML and wiki markup, such as:


 * f(x) = b + c / d

which is marked up as

f(x) = b + c / d

Examples
To get started, follow the examples below.

Greek and symbols
There is a way of marking up Greek characters and special symbols, as the following table shows.
