Many people start with TeX because they want to set formulae. Simple math typesetting exists since PlainTeX and these commands work in ConTeXt as in LaTeX. Advanced math was introduced to TeX by AMS (American Mathematical Society); nowadays AMSTeX and LaTeX are united. But how can one use advanced math with ConTeXt?
- There are two different math modules on CTAN, nath and amsl.
- It is also possible to use most LaTeX equations in ConTeXt with a relatively small set of supporting definitions.
- The "native" ConTeXt way of math is MathML, an application of XML - rather verbose but mighty.
