Here we want to try a few MathML formulas. Since the document has to be served as xhtml rather than html, you need to use a modified Wikiserver at
http://math.chapman.edu/cgi-bin/structuresxml.pl?Display_MathML_on_these_pages to have a chance of seeing the formulas.
This page should work in Internet Explorer 5.5+ with the MathPlayer plugin (
http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/), and also in Mozilla/Netscape 7+.
Please report any problems to Peter Jipsen at jipsen@chapman.edu, and include a short description of the problem as well as your operating system and browser version.
There are three modes for getting math symbols in this Wikiserver:
(1) You can use MathML directly:
<math xmlns="&mathml;"><mfrac><mi>a</mi><mi>b</mi></mfrac></math>
(2) You can use fragments of latex that are translated into XHTML plus some MathML (when the XHTML symbols are inadequate):
$b\in\mathbb B$ or $n\in\mathbb Z$
(3) You can include entire LaTeX documents enclosed by < latex> ... </latex>
<latex>
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
The following LaTeX formulas are translated on the fly by Ian Hutchinson's amazing TtM (
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/mml/)
$\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4a c}}{2a}$ or $n\in\mathbb Z$ or $A\in\mathcal V$
$$\frac{d}{d x}(f(x))=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$$
$\int_a^b f(x)d x=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^nf(x_i^*)\Delta x$ where $\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}$
\end{document}
</latex>
If you want to try your own examples, here is a
MathML-Latex sandbox
The following fonts are also available in both IE+MathPlayer and Mozilla/Netscape 7+
