MathJAX NOTES

Here we specifically mean MathJAX embedded inside Github Markdown only, not in any other context.

Inline expressions are written within $ $, block expressions within $$ $$. Curly Brackets { } are required for grouping multiple symbols where otherwise only a single character/symbol is expected

  • eg. after _ (superscript under) and ^ (power/subscript over).

Notably MathJAX rendered by ChatGPT is a slightly different dialect - eg. it uses ( ) delimiters for inline expressions and [ ] for block expressions.

Some common usages are:

Command MathJAX Code Rendered Output Description
\limits $\min\limits_{x,y} f(x,y)$ $\min\limits_{x,y} f(x,y)$ Put limits directly under previous symbol \min
