4## Beautiful math in all browsers
5
6MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine for LaTeX, MathML, and
7AsciiMath notation that works in all modern browsers.  It was designed with
8the goal of consolidating the recent advances in web technologies into a
9single, definitive, math-on-the-web platform supporting the major browsers
10and operating systems.  It requires no setup on the part of the user (no
11plugins to download or software to install), so the page author can write
12web documents that include mathematics and be confident that users will be
13able to view it naturally and easily.  Simply include MathJax and some
14mathematics in a web page, and MathJax does the rest.
