Math example page

This page shows how to write mathematics in your Markdown. Math is enabled site-wide in config/_default/params.yaml; you can also set math: true in a page’s front matter to enable it only on that page.

Inline math

Use single dollar signs: $E = mc^2$, or $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}$.

Block (display) math

Use double dollar signs on their own line:

$$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi} $$

Or an equation with a label:

$$ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \alpha \nabla^2 u $$

Multi-line (align, etc.)

Use \begin{aligned} or \begin{align} inside $$ ... $$:

$$ \begin{aligned} \nabla \times \mathbf{E} &= -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t} \\ \nabla \times \mathbf{B} &= \mu_0 \mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}}{\partial t} \end{aligned} $$

You can now create your own page: add a new .md file under content/ (e.g. content/my-notes/index.md) with math: true in the front matter and use $...$ and $$...$$ for formulas.
