AI Thread Summary
MathML is a markup language designed for displaying mathematical content on the web, with resources available at mathmlcentral.com and w3.org. Despite its potential, it currently lacks broad browser support, particularly in Opera, and requires a plug-in for Internet Explorer. Users express interest in its capabilities but note that it is not widely adopted for expressing mathematical expressions online. The discussion highlights the need for a standardized way to represent math that computers can understand. Overall, MathML remains an intriguing but underutilized tool in web development.

I was shocked today by finding a special mark up language for math.
It is called MathML, check out www.mathmlcentral.com (and, yes Wolfram is great !).
Anyone is experienced with this ?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Nope, this is the first time experiencing it. It looks interesting though.
 
I tried a few equations in it.
It lacks support from browsers however, I couldn't find anything for Opera. For IE there's a plug-in. If you're interested I'll try to find the address.
You can go to www.w3.org and do a search on "mathml" for additional info.
 
Yes, i was able to find some articles on mathML on the w3.org site (http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML if anyone wants to know).
But what i was wondering was wether or not people are using this great idea for expressing math expressions. (you know, it is good to havea common, known, used, and which computer can understand and deal with way to express math expressions).
But it seems this is not widely used yet.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
