Content Transformation

MathJax can help you with the conversion of math documents from legacy sources and print content as well as with the generation of novel content that is online ready and fully accessible for readers with special needs. The MathJax team is available to consult on putting the necessary workflows in place in your institution.

EPubs and Offline Content

MathJax can also be employed in server-side workflows to prepare content that can be viewed offline or generate documents that are compatible with modern ePub readers. Accessibility can be ensured by including alternative textual descriptions or more fine-grained speech annotations and Braille.

For further information on content-transformation services please contact us.

Training and Teaching

The members of the MathJax team are professors in their own institutions with a long and successful track record in teaching and research. We regularly give presentations and workshops on the use of MathJax and its accessibility features for online teaching at international events.

Support for Online Teaching

MathJax is compatible with most Learning Management systems. We can help you to transfer your mathematical teaching materials to the web, allowing your faculty to teach mathematics online in an inclusive and accessible manner.

Support for Online Examinations

Remote online examinations are increasingly important. MathJax can help in preparing exam materials that are not only visually of the highest quality but also ensures that they are accessible for all students regardless of their individual needs.

Staff Training

We train teachers, faculty, and staff on how to prepare fully accessible math course materials. Training programs can be tailored to your specific requirements and those of your audience. We cover a variety of topics including:

• porting math documents from sources like LaTeX, Word, and PDF to web formats containing SVG and MathJax,
• generating mathematical material that is both web-ready and ePub compatible,
• web accessibility and WCAG guidelines for teaching material in mathematics, and
• an introduction to assistive technologies for STEM subjects.

Please contact us for more information on how to get your teaching online and the training programs we can provide.

Consultancy

MathJax is a highly modular and flexible system that can be adapted to fit the needs of any application and any content: from static website to highly dynamic environments; from simple teaching handouts to highly sophisticated typesetting in scientific publishing. We can help you create the right configurations for you environments and adapt MathJax for the needs of your organization.

Upgrades

With the release of version 3.0, MathJax has moved to a modern TypeScript implementation. If you need advice on upgrading your local installation, or your content to use MathJax v3 and above, please contact us.

Fonts

We support a variety of fonts and employ techniques to adapt rendering of formulas to fit visually to their surrounding text. Should you need a specialised font or rendering support, it can be incorporated into our production pipeline to be available as an extension for your organization or in the core system.

Conversion Workflows

MathJax is an essential tool in converting traditional print sources to accessible, web-ready content. We can advise you on what tool chain is best for your needs, assemble installations, and provide you with bespoke MathJax customizations.

Accessibility

We provide consultancy on how to adapt your existing web-content, software solutions, and workflows to make them fully accessible for users with visual and print impairments. We will work with your own personnel to ensure that your material is fully accessible.

If you have any particular needs for making MathJax working in your organization, please contact us regarding our consultancy services.

Samples

Our homepage is configured to use MathJax's CommonHTML mode with web fonts to display the equations, which produces uniform layout and typesetting across browsers. But MathJax can also be configured to use HTML-CSS (for legacy browsers), SVG, and native MathML rendering when available in a browser. You can try the various output modes using the MathJax context Menu (which you access by ctrl+clicking / alt-clicking / right-clicking an equation) or the menu below.

The Quadratic Formula

\[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\]

Cauchy's Integral Formula

\[f(a) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \oint\frac{f(z)}{z-a}dz\]

Angle Sum Formula for Cosines

\[ \cos(\theta+\phi)=\cos(\theta)\cos(\phi)−\sin(\theta)\sin(\phi) \]

Gauss' Divergence Theorem

\[ \int_D ({\nabla\cdot} F)dV=\int_{\partial D} F\cdot ndS \]

Curl of a Vector Field

\[ \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{F} = \left( \frac{\partial F_z}{\partial y} - \frac{\partial F_y}{\partial z} \right) \mathbf{i} + \left( \frac{\partial F_x}{\partial z} - \frac{\partial F_z}{\partial x} \right) \mathbf{j} + \left( \frac{\partial F_y}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial F_x}{\partial y} \right) \mathbf{k} \]

Standard Deviation

\[\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N (x_i -\mu)^2} \]

Definition of Christoffel Symbols

\[(\nabla_X Y)^k = X^i (\nabla_i Y)^k = X^i \left( \frac{\partial Y^k}{\partial x^i} + \Gamma_{im}^k Y^m \right)\]

Live Demo

Type text in the box below. Include some math: enter MathML as MathML tags, and wrap TeX in $...$ or $$...$$ delimiters (or \(...\) and \[...\]), and AsciiMath in `...` delimiters. The text you enter is actually HTML, so you can include tags if you want; but this also means you have to be careful how you use less-than signs, ampersands, and other HTML special characters within your math (surrounding them by spaces should be sufficient).

When $a \ne 0$, there are two solutions to \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) and they are $$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$

Accessibility and reuse.

Accessibility

MathJax provides a powerful set of accessibility extensions that provide navigation, exploration, and voicing on the client.

You can find more information in our introductory video on YouTube and our documentation.

Reuse

Using the MathJax context menu, you can access the source of any mathematical expression either in MathML format, or in its original format if that was TeX or AsciiMath.

To access the MathJax menu, right-click on a math formula (if you are using Windows), or Control-click it (if you are using a Mac) or touble-tap and hold on a touch device. In the sub-menu “Show Math as” you can choose between “MathML Code” and “TeX commands” to get a pop-up that allows you to copy the math source into another application. Try it out on the equation below!

\[ \left [ – \frac{\hbar^2}{2 m} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + V \right ] \Psi = i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \Psi \]

You can also watch our screencast on YouTube of a MathJax equation being copied and pasted into a variety of applications. Note that this screencast is based on MathJax v1.1 so the menu structure is a little different in the current version.
