<h1 align=center>Displaying Math on the Web</h1>

There are various ways to include mathematical equations in
web-published documents; these notes aim to provide samples of display
methods in wide use today, basic information on using the associated
tools, and a comparative overview of the different approaches.  The
final section includes pointers to additional alternatives and
information on ongoing developments toward integrated web publishing of
mathematical content.

This page is intended to illustrate various options for displaying
equations on the web (aside from scanning in equations drawn by hand, as
above)...it will appear here in final form sometime before the companion
article in the spring issue of <a href="../../insider/">The Insider</a>.
In the meantime, feel free to <a href="mailto:ajfox@@mit.edu">contact the
author</a> with any questions.
