* There are two different math modules TeX was designed for ease of typesetting books that contained mathematics. As ConTeXt is built on [http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context/contrib/maths/ CTAN]top of TeX, [[Math with nath|nath]] and [[Math with amsl|amsl]]it inherits all those features.* It is also possible In addition to use most [[LaTeX Math in these, ConTeXt|LaTeX equations in ConTeXt]] with a relatively small set adds lot of supporting definitions.* The "native" ConTeXt way macros to make the typesetting of math is [[MathML]], an application of [[XML]] - rather verbose but mighty.* And there's a [[Math with newmat|new math]] module in the distributionmathematics easier.

ConTeXt supports inline math (mathematical formulas set within ordinary paragraphs as part The basics of the text) and display math (mathematics set on lines by themselves, often with equation numbers). Inline typesetting math is enclosed in "$" signs, while display math ConTeXt is enclosed in a <cmd>startformula</cmd> / <cmd>stopformula</cmd> paidexplained here.

ConTeXt's base mathematics support is built on the mathematics support in plain TeX, thus allowing quite complicated formulas. For instanceThere are four equivalent commands to get inline math mode:<texcode>A more complicated equation:\placeformula\startformula{{\theta_{\text{ConTeXtcmd|$}}}^2 \over x+2} = \pmatrix, {a_{11cmd|m}&a_{12}&\ldots&a_{1n}\cr a_, {21}&a_{22cmd|math}&\ldots&a_{2n}\cr \vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\cr a_, {n1}&a_{n2cmd|mathematics}&\ldots&a_{nn}\cr} \pmatrix{b_1 \cr b_2 \cr \vdots \cr b_n} + \sum_{j=1}^\infty z^j \left( \sum_{\scriptstyle n=1 \atop \scriptstyle n \ne j}^\infty Z_j^n \right)\stopformula</texcode>to get display inline math mode.

=== 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. Instead use {{cmd|startformula}} and <tt>\stopformula</tt>. See [[Math/Display]] for more details on how to use display math in ConTeXt. === Note to AMSTeX/LaTeX Users ===ConTeXt offers almost all the features that are present in AMSTeX and LaTeX. However, ConTeXt syntax is different. See this [http://wwwdl.ntgcontextgarden.nlnet/myway/context-latex-math.pdf My Way] for how to 'translate' from amsmath syntax to ConTeXt syntax. [[LaTeX_Math_in_ConTeXt]] gives some brief ideas on how to get the LaTeX syntax to run in ConTeXt. == Math symbols ==* [[Math/basic | How to input math]] (binary relations, greek letters, subscripts and superscripts)* Accents* [[Math/stackers | underbrace]], [[Math/stackers | overbrace]]* [[Math/fractions | Fractions, Binomials, genfrac, continued fractions.]]* Delimiters (big, bigg, left, middle, right)* Integrals and Sums* ([[Math/functions|Log like]]) functions* dots* [[Multiline_equations#Cases|Cases]], matrices, bordermatrix* Arrows (see [http:8061/texmath/dl.contextgarden.net/myway/matharrows.pdf Math Arrows])* [[Vectors]]* [[Product integral]] == Display Math ==* [[Math/Display | Formula, formula number]]* [[Multiline equations]] (see [http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf HereUsing \mathalign and friends])* [[Equation alignment]]* [[Matrix in maths]]* [[Math spacing]]* Discussion: [[User_talk:Zenlima | summary of formula numbering problems]] you can try it "live" (PDF interface!comment: unverified).  Others:* [[math calligraphic]]* Use [[mathstackers]] in order to define new math commands in which some characters are stacked over another one* [[\startcases]] == Plotting== * Data plotting with [[MPgraph|module graph]]
