This page demonstrates how to use math expressions in Markdown.
Inline Math
- Einstein’s famous equation: $E = mc^2$
- The Pythagorean theorem: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
- A simple fraction: $\frac{1}{2}$

The quadratic formula:
\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]Maxwell’s Equations:
\[\begin{align} \nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{B}} -\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{E}}}{\partial t} & = \frac{4\pi}{c}\vec{\mathbf{j}} \\ \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{E}} & = 4 \pi \rho \\ \nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{E}}\, +\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{B}}}{\partial t} & = \vec{\mathbf{0}} \\ \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{B}} & = 0 \end{align}\]A matrix:
\[\begin{pmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{pmatrix}\]Usage Instructions
You can write math expressions in your Markdown files using:
- Inline math:
$...$or\(...\) - Display math:
$$...$$or\[...\]
For example, to write Einstein’s equation inline, type $E = mc^2$.
For a block equation like the quadratic formula, use:
$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
