TeX was designed for ease of typesetting books that contained mathematics. As ConTeXt is built on top of TeX, it inherits all those features. In addition to these, ConTeXt adds lot of macros to make the typesetting of mathematics easier.
The basics of typesetting math in ConTeXt is explained here.
=== Display math mode ===Type
<texcode>\Type {{cmd|startformula }} to get display math mode, or {{cmd|dm}} to get a inline typesetting but keeping display sizing and rules... \stopformula</texcode>
to get display math mode<context source="yes">The famous result (once more) is given by\startformulac^2 = a^2 + b^2.\stopformula
\dm{c^2 === Inline math mode ===a^2 + b^2}There are four equivalent commands to get inline math mode:</context>
<texcode>$ ... $ % TeX style.\m{ ... } \== Inline math{ ... } \mathematics{ ... }</texcode>mode ==
=== Note There are four equivalent commands to Plain TeX Users ===ConTeXt is plain TeX compatible. So, if you have any old document written in plain TeX, it will work with ConTeXt. This does not mean that you will get pixel by pixel identical output with ConTeXt. For inline mathmode: {{cmd|$}}, everything that you learnt for plain TeX is also true for ConTeXt. However{{cmd|m}}, display {{cmd|math is significantly different. '''Do not use <code>$$ .... $$</code>''' }}, {{cmd|mathematics}} to write get display inline math formulas in ConTeXt, since you will not get the correct spacing around the formulasmode. Instead use
<texcodecontext source="yes">\startformula framed[align=normal,frame=off]{%The famous result (once more) is given by $ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 $.\par % TeX style.The famous result (once more) is given by \m{c^2 = a^2 + b^2}. \stopformulapar The famous result (once more) is given by \math{c^2 = a^2 + b^2}.\par The famous result (once more) is given by \mathematics{c^2 = a^2 + b^2}.}</texcodecontext>
See [[Math/Display]] for more details on how to use display math in ConTeXt.
For examples<code>$x$</code> gives <context>\setuplayout[scale=0.8]$x$</context>, while<code>$2$</code> gives <context>\setuplayout[scale== Note to AMSTeX0.8]$2$</LaTeX Users ===context>.ConTeXt offers almost all Notice that the features that are present ''x'' is in AMSTeX and LaTeXitalic while the ''2'' is upright.

* There are two different math modules on [http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context/contrib/maths/ CTAN], [[Math with nath|nath]] and [[Math with amsl|amsl]]. And there's a [[Math with newmat|new math]] module in the distribution.
* Context now has inbuilt support for [[Multiline equations]]
* It is also possible to use most [[LaTeX Math in ConTeXt|LaTeX equations in ConTeXt]] with a relatively small set of supporting definitions.
* The "native" ConTeXt way of math is [[MathML]], an application of [[XML]] - rather verbose but mighty.

==Evaluating expressions in ConTeXt==
See also [[Expressions]] (i.e. ''doing'' math). == Note to Plain TeX Users ==ConTeXt is plain TeX compatible. So, if you have any old document written in plain TeX, it will work with ConTeXt. This does not mean that you will get pixel by pixel identical output with ConTeXt. For inline math, everything that you learnt for plain TeX is also true for ConTeXt. However, display math is significantly different. '''Do not use <code>$$ .... $$</code>''' to write display math formulas in ConTeXt, since you will not get the correct spacing around the formulas.

However, ConTeXt syntax is different. See this [http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/context-latex-math.pdf My Way] for how to 'translate' from amsmath syntax to ConTeXt syntax.
