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

## Instructions

The display on the right updates when you press the <Enter> key on your keyboard, and it shows the resulting math. You can change my sample mail to whatever you want.

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

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

Important: You may get an error on the following "Preview" page:

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

If so, try using more brackets around the key parts of your expressions. For example, try (x/y) rather than x/y.

Note 1: This math in email system is in beta. Please forgive any strangeness and let me know if you have trouble.

Note 2: This system supports ASCIIMath and simple LaTeX input.

Note 3: You can't use any HTML tags, like <b> or <a href=...>`, sorry. They will be stripped out.

Note 4: This is not a closed or private system and your mail can possibly be read in transit.
