If you see a post with some relevant mathematics in it, you can see (and copy and paste) the Latex used by initiatiating a reply to that post.

How do I write equations and symbols in the homework statement and relevant equations sections?

To post math equations, it's best to use the LaTeX engine that PF provides. There is a helpful "LaTeX Guide" link below the Edit window to get you started. Note that you put double-$ delimiters at the start and end of each stand-alone line of LaTeX, and double-# delimiters at the start and end of in-line LaTeX that does not need to be on its own line. Also, if you right-click on a LaTeX equation in a post, you get a pop-up menu to let you view the LaTeX source or view it in other formats.

LaTeX isn't supported in thread titles, so you can use simple text math in titles if you want.

Note also that PF uses a feature called "lazy LaTeX rendering" that speeds up page loads. When you first post your LaTeX in a thread, you will not see it rendered that first time. Just refresh your browser page to force it to be rendered, and then it should render whenever you come back to that page/thread in the future.

Note that you need to be previewing (or already have posted) a post with LaTeX for the refresh trick to work. And I don't believe it works in new thread first posts. It may be better to draft as a reply to a thread containing $\LaTeX$ (like this one now does) and copy to your new thread when you are happy.

Could be a long wait for some...
