<a name="g_t_0040math_003a-Inserting-Mathematical-Expressions"></a>
<h3 class="section">14.6 <code>@math</code>: Inserting Mathematical Expressions</h3>
<a name="math"></a><a name="index-math"></a>
<a name="index-Mathematical-expressions_002c-inserting"></a>
<a name="index-Formulas_002c-mathematical"></a>
<p>You can write a short mathematical expression with the <code>@math</code>
command. Write the mathematical expression between braces, like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@math{(a + b)(a + b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2}
</pre></div>
<p>This produces the following in Info and HTML:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(a + b)(a + b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>@math</code> command has no special effect on the Info and HTML
output. <code>makeinfo</code> expands any @-commands as usual,
but it does not try to produce good mathematical formatting in any
way.
</p>
<p>However, as far as the TeX output is concerned, plain TeX
mathematical commands are allowed in <code>@math</code>, starting with
‘<samp>\</samp>’, and the plain TeX math characters like ‘<samp>^</samp>’ and
‘<samp>_</samp>’ are also recognized. In essence, <code>@math</code> drops you
into plain TeX math mode.
</p>
<p>This allows you to conveniently write superscripts and subscripts (as
in the above example), and also to use all the plain TeX math
control sequences for symbols, functions, and so on, and thus get
proper formatting in the TeX output, at least.
</p>
<p>It’s best to use ‘<samp>\</samp>’ instead of ‘<samp>@</samp>’ for any such
mathematical commands; otherwise, <code>makeinfo</code> will complain.
On the other hand, <code>makeinfo</code> allows input with matching (but
unescaped) braces, such as ‘<samp>k_{75}</samp>’, although it complains
about such bare braces in regular input.
</p>
<p>Here’s an example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@math{\sin 2\pi \equiv \cos 3\pi}
</pre></div>
<p>which looks like the input in Info and HTML:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">\sin 2\pi \equiv \cos 3\pi
</pre></div>
<a name="index-_005c-_0028literal-_005c-in-_0040math_0029"></a>
<p>Since ‘<samp>\</samp>’ is an escape character inside <code>@math</code>, you can
use <code>@\</code> to get a literal backslash (<code>\\</code> will work in
TeX, but you’d get the literal two characters ‘<samp>\\</samp>’ in Info).
<code>@\</code> is not defined outside of <code>@math</code>, since a ‘<samp>\</samp>’
ordinarily produces a literal (typewriter) ‘<samp>\</samp>’. You can also use
<code>@backslashchar{}</code> in any mode to get a typewriter backslash.
See <a href="Inserting-a-Backslash.html#Inserting-a-Backslash">Inserting a Backslash</a>.
</p>
<a name="index-Displayed-equations"></a>
<a name="index-Equations_002c-displayed"></a>
<p>For displayed equations, you must at present use TeX directly
(see <a href="Raw-Formatter-Commands.html#Raw-Formatter-Commands">Raw Formatter Commands</a>).
