LaTeX is a programming language used for technical and scientific documents, but in small snippets, it can also be used to easily create formulas and equations in Pressbooks. Each character has its own code, and there are functions for common formatting as well.^[1]

For more information, see Equations and Formulas: How to Use LaTeX in the Pressbooks Userguide.
