Help:Math

Math formulas can be displayed on articles using the   tag.

For the technically inclined, MediaWiki (which is used by Fandom wikis) uses a subset of AMS-LaTeX markup, a superset of LaTeX markup which is in turn a superset of TeX markup, for mathematical formulas.

Step by step

 * 1) Open source editing mode for an article.
 * 2) Write your math code in the following format:.
 * 3) For example, the equation '3 x 2 = 6' can be displayed using:
 * 4) Which generates this:
 * 5) $${3 ~ \times ~ 2 ~ = ~ 6}$$
 * 6) In-line formulas require   attribute:
 * 7) Which can be used to generate this:
 * 8) The volume of a sphere is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$.
 * 9) Regular text can be added to a math formula like so:
 * 10) Which will render like this:
 * 11) $\rho_{\text{Air}} = 1.225~\text{kg/m}^3$
 * 12) For details on how to write the math formulas themselves, see Help:Displaying a formula, on Wikipedia.
