Math formatting guide

We now support latex throughout the site. We use Mathjax for rendering beautiful mathematical equations. You can create mathematical equations using tex macros.

Usage:

To include math symbols in the content you need to use tex macros. Read more about tex here

Math symbols can be included in two ways, inline and new line.

Inline:

To include math symbols in between words of a sentence instead of new line, inline LaTex is used. $$ is the delimiter for both opening and closing delimiters for newline LaTex. Check the example below.

Newline

To include math symbols in new line, use newline latex. $$$ is the delimiter for both opening and closing delimiters for newline latex. Check the example below.

Refer to wiki for complete list of latex symbols. MathJax library supports only math-mode macros. It does not support text-mode macros. Here is a list of macros MathJax supports.

Check this for good illustration of math-mode LaTeX commands.

Here is basic Mathjax guide.

Note:

For inline latex you need to put two backslashes before opening and closing brackets, because backslash is escape character in HackerEarth markdown editor. Hence first backslash is escaped.
