## Beautiful math in all browsers
MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine for LaTeX and MathML that
works in all modern browsers. It was designed with the goal of consolidating
the recent advances in web technologies into a single, definitive,
math-on-the-web platform supporting the major browsers and operating systems. It
requires no setup on the part of the user (no plugins to download or software to
install), so the page author can write web documents that include mathematics
and be confident that users will be able to view it naturally and easily. Simply
include MathJax and some mathematics in a web page, and MathJax does the rest.
