mathURL

why

mathURL allows you to send complex math expressions to people over email and IM, and embedded in webpages, without requiring any special software.

how

1. Enter your LaTeX code in the box. (mathURL accepts standard LaTeX input with AMS extensions.)
2. Click "preview" to see it rendered. Or, hit Alt+P (on Windows) or Control+P (on Mac).
3. When you're satisfied, click "make mathurl". You will get a red mathURL that looks something like this: http://mathurl.com/?5euwuy
4. Share your mathURL with your friends and collaborators!

embedding

The red mathURL goes to a webpage on this site with your equation on it. To embed an equation in some other webpage, click once on the formatted equation, and use the address of the image that you get (e.g. http://mathurl.com/?img=5euwuy) as the value of the src= attribute of your img tag (e.g. <img src="http://mathurl.com/?img=5euwuy">).
