We need a math presentation package

It would be useful when talking about algorithms to be able to work with nice looking mathematical formulas when communicating such concepts.

There are several options with various notations that are available.

The simplest notation among various packages is asciimath.

While there are some limitations to using asciimath notation, it seems to work well for most purposes.

Generally this option can be made available as well as two other possible notations:

• MathML is a subset of html for rendering mathematical content ( not yet cross browser )
• LaTex is the top industry standard notation which evolved before MathML began to mature ( this is more flexible, but more complex than asciimath )

Using the MathJax package it is possible to configure the forum to allow all three of the above notations. I think this would be the best approach.
