LaTeX Math Formula Guide

What is LaTeX

LaTeX (pronounced "lay-tek") is a high-quality typesetting system built on top of the TeX typesetting system, released by Leslie Lamport in 1984. It is widely used in academia, particularly in mathematics, physics, and computer science. Nearly all academic papers, textbooks, and technical reports are typeset with LaTeX.

What is KaTeX

KaTeX is a pure JavaScript math typesetting library developed by Khan Academy that renders LaTeX math formulas quickly in the browser. Compared to MathJax, KaTeX focuses on speed, rendering as fast as server-side TeX while maintaining high-quality output. This tool uses the KaTeX engine for real-time rendering.

Delimiters

LaTeX math formulas are wrapped in delimiters, in either inline or display (block) mode:

  • Inline: wrapped with \( ... \) or $ ... $, embedded within a line of text.
  • Display: wrapped with \[ ... \] or $$ ... $$, centered on its own line.

For example, the inline formula \( E = mc^2 \) sits within the text, while a display formula stands alone:

\[ \int_{a}^{b} f(x)\,dx = F(b) - F(a) \]

Quick Syntax Reference

  • Fractions: \frac{numerator}{denominator}
  • Roots: \sqrt{x}, \sqrt[n]{x}
  • Superscript/Subscript: x^{2}, x_{i}
  • Greek letters: \alpha, \beta, \gamma, \pi, \infty
  • Summation: \sum_{i=1}^{n}
  • Integral: \int_{a}^{b}
  • Limit: \lim_{x \to 0}
  • Matrix: \begin{pmatrix}...\end{pmatrix}
  • Piecewise: \begin{cases}...\end{cases}
  • Multi-line align: \begin{aligned}...\end{aligned}

Tips

  1. Use inline mode for short symbols and display mode for full equations.
  2. In matrices, use & to separate columns and \\ for line breaks.
  3. Use \, to insert a thin space, improving spacing for dx etc.
  4. Break complex formulas into multi-line aligned environments for readability.

FAQ

What is a LaTeX math formula?
LaTeX is a typesetting system based on TeX, particularly good at typesetting complex math formulas. Using specific commands (like \frac, \sqrt, \int) you can precisely describe the structure and style of a formula, widely adopted in academia.
What formula types does this tool support?
It supports all syntax supported by KaTeX, including fractions, roots, superscripts/subscripts, calculus (integrals/derivatives/limits), sums and products, matrices and vectors, Greek letters, set theory, logic symbols, arrows, multi-line alignment, piecewise functions, and more.
What is the difference between inline and display formulas?
Inline formulas (\( ... \)) are embedded within a line of text for short symbols; display formulas (\[ ... \]) stand alone on a centered line for full equations. Use the dropdown at the top to switch preview modes.
Are my formulas uploaded to a server?
No. All rendering happens entirely in your browser. The LaTeX source never reaches any server and disappears when you close the page.
How do I put a formula in my blog or document?
Click 'Copy HTML' to copy the KaTeX-rendered HTML to your clipboard and paste it into an HTML-capable editor. You can also copy the LaTeX source and paste it into platforms that support LaTeX (such as GitHub, Notion, Jupyter).
What if rendering fails?
Common causes include missing backslashes, unclosed environments (e.g. \begin{pmatrix} without a matching \end{pmatrix}), or unescaped special characters. This tool enables throwOnError=false, so it renders as much as it can even if some syntax is incorrect.
What is the difference between KaTeX and MathJax?
KaTeX focuses on speed, rendering very fast with synchronous output; MathJax has more features and supports more extension packages. This tool uses KaTeX for the best real-time editing experience.
