Issues

If you see errors in the math, problems in the wording/language, or issues with how a symbol/equation translates into code, please create an issue.

Please search existing issues before posting a new one.

Pull Requests

Pull requests are awesome! 🎉 If you are going to be adding a new feature or making major changes, it's best to open a new issue to discuss it before you go ahead and work on the PR.

Some other guidelines:

• Keep PRs clean, and only change parts that are relevant to your feature/fix. Different features/fixes are best submitted as independent PRs.
• Some unicode symbols can be used inline, but overall the goal of this is to demystify the equations commonly found in literature. Please use LaTeX SVGs, see the next point.
• Currently, equations are authored with this LaTeX editor, with SVG selected, and images are linked directly to the resulting URL.
• Also include the raw LaTeX as a Markdown comment directly below the image. Comments use the form: <!-- comment -->
• Code should be syntax highlighted with js and follow this style guide.
• Please try to maintain the overall writing style in any new changes.

LaTeX Example

Here is an example of how a new equation might look in LaTeX:

![piecewise1](http://latex.codecogs.com/svg.latex?f%28x%29%3D%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E2-x%7D%7Bx%7D%2C%26%20%5Ctext%7Bif%20%7D%20x%5Cgeq%201%5C%5C%200%2C%20%26%20%5Ctext%7Botherwise%7D%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)

<!--    
f(x)= 
\begin{cases}
    \frac{x^2-x}{x},& \text{if } x\geq 1\\
    0, & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases} 
-->

The rendered result:
