Question mark

A mathematical equation.

Can be displayed inline with text or as a separate block.

Example

#set text(font: "New Computer Modern")

Let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be the side
lengths of right-angled triangle.
Then, we know that:
$ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 $

Prove by induction:
$ sum_(k=1)^n k = (n(n+1)) / 2 $

Syntax

This function also has dedicated syntax: Write mathematical markup within dollar signs to create an equation. Starting and ending the equation with at least one space lifts it into a separate block that is centered horizontally. For more details about math syntax, see the main math page.

Parameters

none or string or function
Settable
Question mark

How to number block-level equations.

Default: none

#set math.equation(numbering: "(1)")

We define:
$ phi.alt := (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2 $ <ratio>

With @ratio, we get:
$ F_n = floor(1 / sqrt(5) phi.alt^n) $
