Mathematics

Docutils supports inline math with the prefix or postfix :math: role specificator, $n!+sin\left(x_n^2\right)$ and $A_{\text{c}}=\frac{\pi }{4}{d}^2$, as well as displayed math via the math directive:

Content may start on the first line of the directive, e.g.

Equations can be labeled with a reference name using the :name: option. See eq:M and eq:schrödinger below.

The determinant of the matrix

is $\left|M\right|=ad-bc$.

More than one display math block can be put in one math directive. For example, the following sum and integral with limits:

LaTeX-supported Unicode math symbols can be used in math roles and directives:

The Schrödinger equation

with the wave function $\Psi$, describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time.

Math-Accents:

Modulation Transfer Function:

Math split over two lines: If a double backslash is detected outside a \begin{...} \end{...} pair, the math code is wrapped in an AMSmath align environment:

Cases ("manually", with matrix environment):

Cases with the AMSmath cases environment (not (yet) supported by HTML writers with --math-output=MathML):

\mathrm{sgn}(x) = \begin{cases}
                    -1 & x<0\\
                     1 & x>0
                  \end{cases}
