User blog comment:AJZajac/Help request - tips on entering mathematical symbols into blog/@comment-32876686-20171024020740

When you edit a page or a blog post, there should be a symbol that looks like this: $$[]$$, or a word that says 'Source'. Click it and you will gain access to a different editting field in which you can enter in commands that denote different mathematical symbols.

These commands are in the language of Latex, which if you're writing math equations, all Latex commands will begin with  $$ and end with $$.

Within $$ and $$ you can use ^ to denote powers, * for multiplication, and - or + for addition and subtraction. For symbols, here is a reference table. You just write the symbol command in the place of whatever symbol you want to write.

There are other things you can do, but this will give you a good idea of how it basically works. If you have any questions I can probably answer them.
