math (latex)¶

inline¶

As with other markup, there is a directive and a mode:

to insert $c= \pm \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ in your code, just prepend it with the :math: mode tag:

to insert :math:`c= \pm \sqrt{a^2+b^2}` in your code, ...

The quadratic formula gives in general, two solutions to the equation $ax^2 + bx+c=0$ :

(1) $x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

in your code, just prepend it with the ..math:: directive:

.. math::  x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
   :label:  quadratic

The :label: option creates a label and allows us to refer to the equation elsewhere (see (1)).
