Getting Started with MathJax to Render LaTeX in 80 Seconds

MathJax: www.mathjax.org/
NOTE: The following links have been taken down. I apologize, I was cleaning up my Github and Netlify accounts and forgotten that I had linked them here.
RUclips will not allow me to leave HTML in the description, so the code to copy and paste can be found here: math.christoph...
My math website (for definitions and theorems): math.christoph...
GitHub repo for the website: github.com/chr...

The repo and site are no longer live-my apologies. I went through and purged my stale repos from my Github account.

[@michaelblair5146]

Thanks you taught me (frightened sometimes by the amount i do not know) what LaTex and MathJax actually do

[@christopherkapic]

I'm glad I could help!

[@christopherkapic]

I know, I know... it's the Pythagorean Theorem, not the quadratic formula.

[@stevenwilson5556]

Anyone could make E = mc^2 that mistake.

[@christopherkapic]

@@stevenwilson5556 I gotta re-record this video out of sheer embarrassment.

[@stevenwilson5556]

@@christopherkapic Naw just make another cool video

[@andrewcameron5495]

Great video, but I just thought I'd point out KaTeX as well. It's a newer project created originally for Khan Academy, and it's essentially a MathJax alternative that is worlds faster than MathJax.

[@STEMMadeSimple2023]

Thank you so much! This solved my issue.

[@kisho2679]

someone knows, how can LaTex stored in a mySQL database be represented/rendered into the webbrowser as mathematical formulas?

[@christopherkapic]

You can probably store latex as a string/text and send the latex to the frontend, at which point MathJax can render it as an SVG.

[@stevenwilson5556]

On the MathJax site they say use $$ and $$ to open and close your math, that works perfectly and you don't have to add the code at the top.

[@kisho2679]

how could MathJax be integrated into Python by using streamlit to display LaTex stored in a separate spreadsheet (e.g. Excel) as mathematical expressions in a web application?

[@splinter4365]

Good, simple and fast
Look at the camera sometimes

[@Lsmig-ei9vd]

Thank you very helpful

[@CivilThinking]

Is it possible to manipulate the mathjax formula. Example i want the userinput to get inside the math equation.. how is it possible

[@erwinmarti2913]

Kapic,
Thank you for the clear explanation. However, my problem is more complicated. During the pandemia, I wrote thousands of beamer viewgraphs on diff. Eq. Topology, etc.
Now my university asks to create eXeLearning materials. I want to go directly from LaTeX into eXeLearning. Is that possible?
BTW, I can't open the links you left in video description.
Anyway, your youtube is helpful. Thank you again.

[@christopherkapic]

Hi Erwin, I'm glad the video was helpful. Unfortunately, I have never done anything with exelearning and am unfamiliar with it. I hope you can get this sorted out!

[@mehrdadjannatie1341]

Is it possible to writh mathmatical relations with hindu-arabic numbers with MathJax?

[@theboydaily]

Cheers

[@studyontube7110]

Will double dollar sign work for single line latex ?

[@christopherkapic]

If I recall correctly, I think so. But I’ll double check when I get a chance and update this comment.

[@vmathnote8433]

Can we use latex to create svg?

[@christopherkapic]

I’m pretty sure MathJax does that conversion. Not 100% sure though.

[@frenchmike]

your site and github repo links are broken, have you given up on your open source project cos I would be interested on working on math websites for myself and for open source as well

[@christopherkapic]

Yeah, I'm sorry-I went through and deleted some of my repos which I had stopped using, and the math website was one of them. My apologies!

[@heho1832]

Hey Christopher, The website is not up. Any update on this?

[@christopherkapic]

I'm sorry, I cleaned up my Github and Netlify accounts and forgot that I had linked those here.

[@allarkvarkk8987]

Quadratic formula?????

[@christopherkapic]

Yeah... brain fart lol. I thought about remaking the video, but that sounds like a lot of work and I have other things I want to do.

[@aayamshrestha5982]

Your Website is not working and you don't have anything on your github

[@christopherkapic]

I'm sorry, I cleaned up my Github and Netlify accounts and forgot that I had linked those here.

[@GodzillaSpartan-0037]

Probably the absolute worst math related website to exist
