The MathJax extension enables MathJax (http://www.mathjax.org/), a Javascript library, for typesetting TeX and LaTeX formulae in MediaWiki inside math environments. The following math environments are defined for inline style math:
$...$(can be turned off, even per page),\(...\)and<math>...</math>.
And the following math environments are defined for display style math:
$$...$$(can be turned off, even per page),\[...\],\begin{...}...\end{...}and:<math>...</math>.
MathJax produces nice and scalable mathematics, see their website (http://www.mathjax.org/) for a demonstration. This extension also enables the usage of \label{} and \eqref{} tags with automatic formula numbering. If needed you can still hand label by using \tag{}.
