Simple integration

Adding MathJax to your web pages is easy to do.

If you are using a Content Management System (like Wordpress, Moodle, or Drupal) to generate your web site, there may be a plugin to add MathJax to your site already, e.g., for Wordpress or Drupal. You may need to download or activate the plugin, if one is available.

If you are using specialized authoring tools, such as LaTeX or Markdown, they might integrate MathJax out of the box or have plugins, e.g., for LaTeX, Markdown, or even epub.

Using MathJax version 3

If you write your own HTML (directly or via a template/theme engine), you can include MathJax by adding this snippet to your page:

<script id="MathJax-script" async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js"></script>

Here's a pre-populated example on jsbin you can re-use.

Note: the configuration file tex-mml-chtml.js is a great way to test both TeX and MathML input options at once. You can find leaner combined components in our documentation.

If you use the snippet above, you will not need to change the version number in the src attribute every time the version of MathJax changes. If you want to always use a specific version, then use a reference like

<script id="MathJax-script" async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3.0.1/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js"></script>

Here's a pre-populated example on jsbin you can re-use.

Using MathJax version 2

Some features from version 2 are still being ported to version 3. MathJax version 2 is still available, and you can continue to use that until version 3 includes the features that you need. We will make updates to version 2 until version 3 is complete. To load MathJax version 2 into your page, use this snippet:

<script async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@2/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_CHTML"></script>

More information is available in the version 2 documentation at the link below.

Server Integration

If you prefer to render server-side, MathJax version 3 makes that easy as well. MathJax is available as a node package, which is easy to install via node's package manager npm using the command

npm install mathjax

Alternatively, MathJax is available on Packagist. Just add the following line to your require section in the composer.json file of your project

"mathjax/mathjax": "3.*"

Or simply download a copy of the latest distribution. This allows you to run MathJax on your server and configure it yourself. There are plenty of examples on how to use and configure MathJax for node in our MathJax Node Demos repository.

If you are a developer who wants to integrate MathJax more tightly into your development workflow, you can use our full code node package available npm with

npm install mathjax-full

Or simply download the source code directly.

A rich set of APIs

Our extensive APIs allow developers to create everything from interactive content, to advanced authoring tools, to math-enabled web and mobile apps.

To get started, check out how to use dynamic math content, or write your own custom component, or render on the server using NodeJS. To dive deeper, start with the landing page in

Browser support

MathJax generates consistent, high-quality output on all browsers & platforms. Our output formats support all the major browser, including: IE11, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.

Version 2 of MathJax supported earlier versions of IE, back to IE6 in some output formats, so if you need to support extremely old browsers, you can continue to use MathJax v2.7 for those needs.

You can find additional details in our documentation

The MathJax Sponsorship Program

The MathJax project was initiated in 2009 by Design Science, the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) with the goal of creating a robust, easy-to-use, and universal solution for displaying high-quality mathematics online. From the beginning, MathJax was conceived as open-source software, on the principle that math display should be part of the common infrastructure of the web.

Providing a universal solution for online math display requires a long-term commitment. Our users need MathJax to be reliable and easy to use, now and in the future. This requires a continuous and coordinated rapid response to browser updates and bugs, keeping up with the proliferation of tablets, smartphones, and ebook readers, and a consistent approach towards new functionality and performance improvements. All of this is important to the community, and requires dedicated time, effort, and money.

Our founding sponsors have been very generous in providing funding; however, as more and more individuals and organizations are using MathJax and its benefit to the community is growing, its base of support grew via the Sponsorship Program. To ensure the long-term stability of MathJax, we continuously reach out to the community and ask organizations to contribute to the MathJax project by becoming a Friend, Supporter, or Partner. All MathJax sponsors share a demonstrated and significant interest in the dissemination of mathematics on the web, in particular through the MathJax project and its activities.

Please feel free to contact us for any further information about the sponsorship program.

MathJax Friends

By becoming a MathJax Friend, organizations show the community that they support the goal of easy-to-use, high-quality mathematics display on the web for everyone, and are contributing in a very concrete way to help MathJax realize that goal. MathJax Friends will be listed on the MathJax Sponsors page.

Summary of Benefits:

• A name (with link) on the MathJax Sponsors page.
• Use of the term “MathJax Friend” in corporate communications.

Annual contribution:
$500+

MathJax Supporters

MathJax Supporters make an important contribution to the project and demonstrate their commitment to a durable math display solution for the web. Upon joining, Supporters receive exposure on the MathJax website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed. This will alert their users to their interest in using the best math display technology to enhance their online viewing experience, and displays their support for a project benefitting the entire math, science, and education community.

Supporters also receive informative quarterly reports giving insight into project timelines, development plans, and upcoming activities. These reports enable to better plan their use of MathJax to take full advantage of MathJax resources to benefit their users.
