To type in math symbols on Rhea, use latex code in between math tags as follows:
<math>Insert formula here</math> 

For example, you can write $ f_1(t)=\int_3^t \sin (x) dx $ Look at the source code of this page to find out how.

By the way

Just wanted to point out that a number of one-line functions will render all tiny and ugly unless you go to "My Preferences" at the top of the page, click the "Math" tab, and select "Always render PNG." This will prevent your browser form simply showing you some formatted text instead of rendered, full-size math equations. If

$ y = 4x^2 -3x+1 $

makes you call your eye doctor, then check it out.

More Examples

Suppose that $ f(x) $ is a continuously differentiable function on $ [a,b] $. Let $ N $ be a positive integer and let $ M=\text{Max}\ \{ |f'(x)|: a\le x\le b\} $. Define $ R_N $ to be the the right endpoint Riemann Sum

$ R_N = \sum_{n=1}^N f(a+n\Delta x)\Delta x $

where $ \Delta x = (b-a)/N $, and let

$ I=\int_a^b f(x)\ dx $.

We shall prove that the error, $ E=|R_N-I| $ satisfies the estimate,

$ E\le \frac{M(b-a)^2}{N} $.

Here are some examples of math equations:

$ \frac{1^5}{\sin(\pi)} $

$ \iiint_{F}^{U} x^2+y^3+\sqrt[7]{z}\, d\theta\,dr\,dz $

Multi-lin Equations

You can align multi-line equations as follows.

$ \begin{align} \bar f(x) &= \oint_S g(x) dx \\ &= \int_a^b g(x) dx \\ &= \frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi a \cdot b} \end{align} $
