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 - rather verbose but mighty. Here's the docs:

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.
