It looks like the
MathJax folks have created the webmath holy grail. Notice that unlike image-based methods, their MathML approach scales correctly as the browser font size is altered. Finally, I can get on to blogging about math and not about blogging about math.
Here are some examples from their page:
The Lorenz Equations
\[\begin{matrix}
\dot{x} & = & \sigma(y-x) \\
\dot{y} & = & \rho x - y - xz \\
\dot{z} & = & -\beta z + xy
\end{matrix} \]
The Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality
\[ \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right) \]
A Cross Product Formula
\[\mathbf{V}_1 \times \mathbf{V}_2 = \begin{vmatrix}
\mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\
\frac{\partial X}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial Y}{\partial u} & 0 \\ \frac{\partial X}{\partial v} & \frac{\partial Y}{\partial v} & 0
\end{vmatrix} \]
The probability of getting \(k\) heads when flipping \(n\) coins is:
\[P(E) = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{ n-k} \]
An Identity of Ramanujan
\[ \frac{1}{(\sqrt{\phi \sqrt{5}}-\phi) e^{\frac25 \pi}} =
1+\frac{e^{-2\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-4\pi}} {1+\frac{e^{-6\pi}}
{1+\frac{e^{-8\pi}} {1+\ldots} } } } \]
A Rogers-Ramanujan Identity
\[ 1 + \frac{q^2}{(1-q)}+\frac{q^6}{(1-q)(1-q^2)}+\cdots =
\prod_{j=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(1-q^{5j+2})(1-q^{5j+3})},
\quad\quad \text{for} |q|<1. \]
Maxwell’s Equations
\[ \begin{aligned}
\nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{B}} -\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{E}}}{\partial t} & = \frac{4\pi}{c}\vec{\mathbf{j}} \\ \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{E}} & = 4 \pi \rho \\
\nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{E}}\, +\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{B}}}{\partial t} & = \vec{\mathbf{0}} \\
\nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{B}} & = 0 \end{aligned}
\]
