\startformula \startalign
v &= u + at \\
h &= ut + \frac12 gt^2 \\
\stopalign \stopformula
</texcode>
Note the \\ in the last line, above.
This appears as follows:
<texcode>
\startformula \startalign[n=3,align={right,middle,left}]
\NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR
\NC h \NC= ut \NC+ \frac12 gt^2 \NR
\stopalign \stopformula
</texcode>
The numbering can be changed to a subformula style using {{cmd|placesubformula}} instead of {{cmd|placeformula}} and numbering the subformulas using {{cmd|NR|2=[+][a]}}, {{cmd|NR|2=[+][b]}}, … instead.

The above equations were aligned at <code>=</code>. Suppose you also want the <code>+</code> to align. Well, this is simple in context, simply specify the number of columns with <code>\startalign</code>

\startformula \startalign[n=3]
\NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR
== Alignment of each column ==
If you want more control over the formatting, and want the middle column to be center aligned, you can do that by
<contextsource=yes>
\startformula \startalign[n=3,align={right,middle,left}]
\NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR
This mechanism allows fancier alignments like
<texcode>\startformula \startalign[ncontext source=4,align={left,right,middle,left}] \NC \text{We have} \quad \NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR \NC \text{and} \NC h \NC= ut \NC+ \frac12 gt^2 \NR\stopalign \stopformula</texcode> <contextyes>
\startformula \startalign[n=4,align={left,right,middle,left}]
\NC \text{We have} \quad \NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR
aligned equations can be numbered by placing a tag after {{cmd|NR}}

== Changing the number of columns ==
New alignment can be defined using {{cmd|definemathalignment}}. For example, to emulate <code>gather</code> environment of amsmath, we can use
\definemathalignment
[gather]
== Cases ==
Context provides a {{cmd|startmathcases}} {{cmd|stopmathcases}} pair to make it easy to get cases. <texcode>\startformula f(x) = \startmathcases \NC x, \NC if $0 \le x \le \frac12$ \NR \NC 1-x ,\NC if $\frac12 \le x \le 1$ \NR\stopmathcases\stopformula</texcode> gives
<contextsource=yes text="gives">
\startformula
\delta_{ij} = f(x) = \startmathcases \NC x, 1 \NC \text{if $0 \le x \le \frac12$ } i = j \NR \NC 1-x ,0 \NC if $\frac12 \le x \le 1$ text{otherwise} \NR \stopmathcases
\stopformula
</context>
The cases environment consists of two columns, separated by {{cmd|NC}}. The second column is by default in text math mode. An alternative way of getting the same result is to define To typeset the second column as a mathcolumn with in text mode, use {{cmd|MCTC}} like so:
<texcode>
\startformula
\delta_{ij} = f(x) = \startmathcases \NC x, 1 \MC TC if \textm{if i = j} 0 \le x \le \frac12 \NR \NC 1-x ,0 \MC \text{if } \frac12 \le x \le 1 TC otherwise \NR \stopmathcases
\stopformula
</texcode>
