The Mathening

I’ve been thinking about writing a post about math (or maths) for months after hearing about if from Fractal Kitty and her passion for Mathober.

Resources

Math in Style
This is my favorite tip about math in the browser. Sarah has several posts about styling math and I encourage you to check it out. I had no idea that this existed and I feel that if you take anything from this post, it should be this. I think this is a great alternative to including something like MathJax.
Math to MathML
This is a really cool tool to help get functions into MathML for the site. It also does LaTex if that is what you need.
MDN: Math
While you’re looking over the Mozilla documentation, think about giving a donation so that this resource can continue being.

  1. For those who are curious, I haven’t added it to my style sheet for this site yet. It’s a sort of chicken-and-egg issue. ↩︎
