# MathJax Rendering in Obsidian
Obsidian uses MathJax to render LaTeX math expressions. This skill covers essential syntax for mathematical notation.
For complete symbol tables and advanced commands, see [reference.md](reference.md).
## 1. Basic Syntax
### Inline vs Block
```markdown
Inline: The equation $E = mc^2$ appears within text.
Block (centered, display-style):
$$
\int_0^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}
$$
```
- **Inline** (`$...$`): Compact, flows with paragraph
- **Block** (`$$...$$`): Larger, centered, multi-line capable

## 2. Fractions and Roots
```latex
\frac{a}{b} % Standard fraction
\sqrt{x} % Square root
\sqrt[n]{x} % n-th root
\binom{n}{k} % Binomial coefficient
```
**Examples:**
```latex
$$
\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right) = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x)}{[g(x)]^2}
$$
$$
\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c \qquad \sqrt[3]{27} = 3
$$
```

## 3. Superscripts and Subscripts
```latex
$x^2$ % Superscript
$x_1$ % Subscript
$x_i^2$ % Both combined
$x^{10}$ % Multiple characters need braces
$x_{n+1}$ % Expression as subscript
```
**Note**: Use braces `{}` for multi-character exponents/subscripts.

## 4. Greek Letters
### Common Letters
| Lowercase | | Uppercase | |
|-----------|--------|-----------|--------|
| `\alpha` α | `\beta` β | `\Gamma` Γ | `\Delta` Δ |
| `\gamma` γ | `\delta` δ | `\Theta` Θ | `\Lambda` Λ |
| `\epsilon` ε | `\theta` θ | `\Sigma` Σ | `\Phi` Φ |
