Mathematical Equations

We support LaTeX math notation for both inline and display equations.

Inline Math

Wrap inline math in single dollar signs:

The equation $E = mc^2$ is famous.

Renders as: The equation $E = mc^2$ is famous.

Display Math

Wrap display equations in double dollar signs:

$$
\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
$$

Common Math Examples

Fractions:

$\frac{a+b}{c+d}$

Matrices:

$$
\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{bmatrix}
$$

Greek Letters:

$\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta, \epsilon$

Chemical Formulas

Use our special chemistry syntax for chemical formulas:

Basic Formulas

\{chem\}H_2O\{/chem\}
\{chem\}CO_2\{/chem\}
\{chem\}C_6H_{12}O_6\{/chem\}

Chemical Equations

\{chem\}2H_2 + O_2 -> 2H_2O\{/chem\}

Complex Molecules

\{chem\}CH_3CH_2OH\{/chem\} - Ethanol
\{chem\}Ca(OH)_2\{/chem\} - Calcium hydroxide

Diagrams with Mermaid

Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and more using Mermaid syntax:

Flowchart

```mermaid
graph TD
    A[Start] --> B{Decision}
    B -->|Yes| C[Do this]
    B -->|No| D[Do that]
    C --> E[End]
    D --> E
```

Sequence Diagram

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant A as Alice
    participant B as Bob
    A->>B: Hello Bob!
    B->>A: Hi Alice!
```

Gantt Chart

```mermaid
gantt
    title Project Timeline
    dateFormat  YYYY-MM-DD
    section Phase 1
    Task 1          :a1, 2024-01-01, 30d
    Task 2          :after a1, 20d
    section Phase 2
    Task 3          :2024-02-01, 12d
    Task 4          :24d
```
