I recently found myself spending a lot of time uploading math images copied from screen shots of MathCad output. This problem became even worse when an economist pointed out several areas where I could improve my mathmatical development.
Some background notes
So I decided it was time to find a simple way to display WordPress posts using math symbols. I choose the work around the PHP library called phpmathpublisher developed by Pascal Brachet. I then took a little time to improve on the previous work of Matteo Bertini’s WordPress plugin for Pascal’s library called wphpmathpublisher.
Sample tag used to create output below
![f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}](https://www.embeddedcomponents.com/wp-content/plugins/wpmathpub/phpmathpublisher/img/math_957_0789bbf6b1947adc623454c05a5995b0.png "f(x)~left~ sum{kappa=1}{infty}{delim{[}{{1/(x_kappa)^kappa}}{]}}")
