→Formula, formulae, equations
== Display math mode ==
Type {{cmd|startformula}} to get display math mode, or {{cmd|dm}} to get a inline typesetting but keeping display sizing and rules.
<context source="yes">
c^2 = a^2 + b^2.
\stopformula
\dm{c^2 = a^2 + b^2}
</context>
<code>$2$</code> gives <context>\setuplayout[scale=0.8]$2$</context>.
Notice that the ''x'' is in italic while the ''2'' is upright. This is the usual mathematic convention.
= Formula, formulae, equations =
* '''[[Math/Display | Math display]]''' for
** numbering
** referencing
** list of Formulae
** formating
* '''[[Math/Multiline_equations | Multiline equations]]''' for
** alignment
** number of columns
** equation numbering and sub-numbering(very similar to above)
** formating, specifying and defining alignment
** cases
** delimiters
** block matrices and vertical/ horizontal lines
** border matrices
= Typesetting Math symbols =
* '''[[Math/basic | Math glyphs]]'''
** Binary Operators Relations
** Sums, products and integrals. A specific page is for [[Product integral]]
** Greek Letters
** Subscript and superscript
** List of all math macros
* '''[[Math/functions]]''' (typesetting of usual functions, and defining new ones)
* '''[[Math/Vectors]]'''
* '''[[Math/stackers]]'''
** how to stack some characters over another one (and accent)
** underbrace** and overbrace* '''[[Math/Fonts]]'''
** [[math calligraphic]] seems to be old content
* '''[[Math/fractions | Math/Fractions, Binomials, genfrac, continued fractions.and binomials]]'''* Delimiters (big, bigg, left, middle, right)* Integrals and Sums* ('''[[Math/functions|Log likeDelimiters]]) functions'''* dots* Arrows (see [http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/matharrows.pdf Math Arrows])* [[Vectors]]* [[Product integral]]* Number '''Formatting : there's a special command, numbers with {{cmd|digits}}''', with and its own manual about formatting numbers, see <i>[http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/magazines/mag-0003.pdf Pasting digits together(2003)]* </i>.

== Other Methods ==
* The "native" ConTeXt way of math is [[MathML]], an application of [[XML]] - rather verbose but mighty.
* 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.
* It is also possible to use most [[LaTeX Math in ConTeXt|LaTeX equations in ConTeXt]] with a relatively small set of supporting definitions.
== To do ==
