This article explains how to use LaTeX in the AoPSWiki, the AoPS Community, and the AoPS Classroom.

LaTeX on the AoPSWiki and the AoPS Community

LaTeX uses a special math mode to display mathematics. To place something written in TeX in math mode, use $ signs to enclose the math you want to display. For example, suppose you type the following in a Community post or in the AoPSWiki:

The solution to $\sqrt{x} = 5$ is $x=25$.

The resulting post will read

The solution to <math>\sqrt{x} = 5</math> is <math>x=25</math>.
