You can use all of Many people start with TeX because they want to set formulae.Simple math typesetting exists since PlainTeX math and most of AMSmath these commands work in ConTeXt; for the latter you may need the '''nath''' or '''amsl''' module as in LaTeX.Advanced math was introduced to TeX by AMS (see on [ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context/contrib/maths/ CTAN]American Mathematical Society); nowadays AMSTeX and LaTeX are united.But how can one use advanced math with ConTeXt?
* 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]].
* 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.
 
==Simple Math==
 
<texcode>
\quotation{$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$}, says Pythagoras with inline math.
 
\startformula
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\stopformula
</texcode>
(Someone please add a sample that shows the most advanced possible math without modules.)
 
==Math [[Fonts]]==
* [http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/EulerContext.pdf Euler in ConTeXt (using Euler math font)] by Adam Lindsay
 ==Science==* Esp. for physics there's there’s the '''[[units''' ]] module. * Additions to [[MathML]] are PhysML and ChemML.* [[Chemistry]]* There's a module for chemical structure formulae: [[Chemistry|PPCHTeX]] (works also with LaTeX). It's based on [[Metapost]] and [[MetaFun]].* It is also possible to use most LaTeX equations in ConTeXt with a relatively small set of supporting definitions; that is discussed in the [[LaTeX Math in ConTeXt]] page.
