Do we want MathJax?
Some Codidact communities have MathJax enabled, which allows using mathematical notation in posts. For examples of what this looks like, see the end of the Mathematics Codidact formatting help.
Would this community like MathJax to be enabled? I couldn't find a previous discussion of this on Meta.

I would support this, but only if it doesn't noticeably distract from implementing other important features. I imagine that MathJax would have a real, but niche use on Software for more theoretical discussion - for example, to show formulas used to compute the big-O running time of an algorithm. It would have no real use for e.g. discussing how to implement things in code or explaining the idiosyncrasies of libraries; but Software is acknowledged to have a broader scope than Some Other sites do.
