​
Inline Math

Write mathematical expressions inline using single dollar signs: 
Euler's formula: $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$

​
Block Math

Write larger mathematical expressions as blocks using double dollar signs: 
$$
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
$$

​
Common Math Symbols

  • Greek letters: \alpha, \beta, \gamma, etc.
  • Operators: \times, \div, \pm, etc.
  • Fractions: \frac{numerator}{denominator}
  • Subscripts and superscripts: x_{subscript} and x^{superscript}
  • Integrals: \int, \sum, \prod

​
Best Practices

  1. Use inline math for short expressions within text
  2. Use block math for equations that should be displayed on their own line
  3. Test complex formulas in the preview pane before publishing
  4. Keep formulas simple and readable when possible
  5. Use proper spacing around math expressions for better readability
