You can use all of PlainTeX math and most of AMSmath in ConTeXt; for the latter you may need the nath or amsl module (see on CTAN).

  • The "native" ConTeXt way of math is MathML, an application of XML - rather verbose but mighty.
  • Euler in ConTeXt (using Euler math font) by Adam Lindsay
  • Esp. for physics there's the units module.
  • There's a module for chemical structure formulae: PPCHTeX (works also with LaTeX). It's based on

Metapost and MetaFun.

  • It is also possible to use most LaTeX equations in ConTeXt with a relatively small set of supporting definitions; that is discussed in the LaTeX Math in ConTeXt page.
