typing math symbols and exponents in RISE quiz option?? How do you do this?
How do I type in RISE quiz question and answer?
Please tell me its possible.
Thanks Michelle for sharing that insight here. I hadn't heard of LaTex before this discussion, but science and math were never my area! I took a quick look at their website and I'm curious how you use this in other applications? Can it be installed as a part of tools like Powerpoint? Is it a browser based add-on?
I'd love to get a bit more insight on how you're using it today with other tools to pass that along to my Product team!
Hi Ashley, just to add to Michelle's comments.
LaTeX is a method for writing math equations.
Some applications directly support LaTex, others require an add-on or extension. For instance I believe MS Word 365 now supports LaTex in the equation editor.
For displaying math on the web, LaTex is not directly supported by web browsers. MathML is another method of writing equations, but it is only supported by Firefox (and maybe Safari?)
Both LaTex and MathML are fully supported by "MathJax". MathJax is a Javascript library that processes the formulas and replaces them with elegant HTML/CSS. Mathjax is not the only parser available, but it is a standard one that is used.
