Math on the web: when LaTeX is not enough
Terence Tao, Fields Medalist and Professor of Mathematics at UCLA, recently made a post on his blog regarding the difficulties of rendering math on the web. For print, LaTeX is the gold standard, but there isn’t yet an established means of generating complex mathematical expressions on a web browser.
Tao has asked his readers to discuss this important topic for a quickly-moving academic culture in the comments of his post. This discussion should be quite intriguing to watch.
