In summary, if a post on Physicsforums requires a mathematical statement in first order logic, Latex must be used to make it readable. However, the site does not support Latex. The suggestion is to use Mathjax, which allows TeX formulas, such as [tex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]. For inline formulas, [itex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/itex] can be used. This information can be found in the "Physics Forums FAQ and HowTo" thread at the top of the forum.

Physicsforums uses Mathjax, which allows TeX formulas:

[tex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]
gets
[tex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

[itex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/itex] gets [itex]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/itex] (for inline formulas)
