Send an email containing math symbols and equations! (Beta)

Use this page to easily send math in an email.

Instructions

The display on the right updates when you press the <Enter> key on your keyboard, and it shows the resulting math.

When entering math, remember to surround it with the backtick symbol (`), NOT the apostrophe (’).

See how to type math (syntax for ASCIIMathML. Opens in a new window.)

Important: Don't have any spaces in your math! On this page, the math is rendered using MathJax, and it forgives spaces. But the math in your email uses MathTeX, and if there are any spaces, you may get an error:

"Latex failed, probably due to an error in your expression."

Note 1: This math in email system is in beta.

Note 2: This is not a closed or private system and your mail can possibly be read in transit.

Further Information

See a more extensive list of ASCIIMathML syntax for those special symbols you're looking for.
