Math Coding Styles

There are three main styles for coding mathematics for HTML display:

• TeX/LaTeX

  \[ f(x|\mu,\sigma^2) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}} \]

• AsciiMath

  ` f(x|mu,sigma^2)= 1/sqrt(2 pi sigma^2) e^(-(x-mu)^2/(2sigma^2)) `

• MathML

  $\begin{array}{cc}& f\left(x\right|\mu ,{\sigma }^2)=\genfrac{}{}{0.1ex}{}{1}{\sqrt{2\pi {\sigma }^2}}{e}^{-\genfrac{}{}{0.1ex}{}{{(x-\mu )}^2}{2{\text{σ}}^2}}\hfill \end{array}$
