Latex in markdown

Markdown application and processor read and compile .markdown file into .html. MathJax is a tool for the conversion of LaTeX syntax in .markdown that works well on Jekyll and GitHub pages. By adding the following lines into /_layout/default.html, math formula can be easily represented.

For example,

• $$E = mc^2$$
• $K_d = \frac{k_b}{k_f}$
• $v = \frac{v_{max}[S]}{K_M + [S]}$
• $\sigma = \sqrt{\text{var}}$
• $\mu = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} x_k$

$$E = mc^2$$
$K_d = \frac{k_b}{k_f}$
$v = \frac{v_{max}[S]}{K_M + [S]}$
$\sigma = \sqrt{\text{var}}$
$\mu = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} x_k$
