How to render mathematical equations in Android

We use MathJAX to render equations expressed via latex on the browsers. How do you do something similar on the Android platform, if you need to express all mathematical equations (e.g. fractions, algebraic equations, calculus, differential equations, trigonometry)

As a commenter already said, you can use MathJax. There's an open source example android app listed on mathjax.org. For a discussion about it, see the MathJax User Group.

If you need to build a more complex editor, there are a growing number of those built on/with MathJax.

  • MathEditor (open source)
  • wysiwhat (open source, Aloha-based, not quite wysiwyg)
  • mathicando, a commmercial one

[disclaimer: I'm part of MathJax but not affiliated with any of the above.]
