Recently, I started to use Github Page to write a summary on a course that I followed on Edx about Statistics. I am using Jekyll to create static websites. In order to insert lots of math equations, I am using Mathjax.
You can add these scripts in the head to import Mathjax:
<script src="https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
tex2jax: {
skipTags: ['script', 'noscript', 'style', 'textarea', 'pre'],
inlineMath: [['$','$']]
}
});
</script>
By doing so, you can show most of the math functions correctly, except for some inlineMath: math between two $ signs.
