Changes

You can use all TeX was designed for ease of PlainTeX math and most of AMSmath in typesetting books that contained mathematics. As ConTeXt; for the latter you may need the '''nath''' module (see is built on [ftp://dantetop of TeX, it inherits all those features.ctan.org/tex-archive/In addition to these, ConTeXt adds lot of macros/context/contrib/maths/t-nath.tex CTAN])to make the typesetting of mathematics easier.

The "native" ConTeXt way There are '''two''' kinds of '''math is MathML - rather verbose but mighty.

Esp. for physics there's the '''units''' moduleThe basics of typesetting math in ConTeXt is explained here.

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>. == 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://dl.contextgarden.net/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. == 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]].
