# Need some help not in a math problem but in something else.....

Hope this problem might get resolved before someone closes this.

The problem is that I don't know how to type using Mathjax so what should I do in this situation?

The things which I think I can do in this situation is:-

-(1)- Have faith in luck - by this, I mean that, post my question without using Mathjax and hoping that before it gets closed, someone answers it.

-(2)- learn Mathjax:-I know if anyone answers this question, most probably(orthodox) they will choose this one, I don't know from where to start, and How much time will it take? so if anyone picks this he/she must care that they should also answer this.

-(3)- any other alternative if you have in place of the above two if anyone has. Thank you.

• See here and further links. It's really just a dumbed down verison of Latex, so you might want to invest time into learning actual Latex, because it's more likely to be useful for your real-life career. Knowing latex already helps with mathjax.

• Basic MathJax is easy: $x^2-1=3$ gives $x^2-1=3$. Then build up from there: for example using $\frac{\sigma^2_X}{\mu}$ gives $\frac{\sigma^2_X}{\mu}$ and so on Apr 13 at 9:17
• Why is there a fear that this is getting closed? Ah, I see that it emerged from the math site, but it was truly meant to be on meta, and here it is, it's not going anywhere now. Apr 13 at 11:02

• ok, I will try tomorrow. Apr 13 at 13:30

• Option 2 is very much the best, thank you for the kind words, आप के मुँह में घी शक्कर. To me you can speak in Hindi, but MathJax is the second language of this site after English, so that has to be learnt by anybody and everybody visiting the site. It is very easy. There's literally just the dollar signs \$, the power sign ^, the fraction construct \frac, the underscore _ and a lot of things like brackets, math operations etc. match perfectly with written mathematics. It is easy, and anyone can learn the basics in one day, or by trying to write one answer. Apr 13 at 10:58
