HTML/Javascript MathML Primer Tutorial
The HTML5 specification allows for the use of mathematical symbology via MathML HTML tags.
The display of mathematical symbology was not so easy to achieve very easily with older versions of HTML, and MathML makes this a lot easier for web content creators.
Today, with our tutorial, we show the use of MathML HTML tags to show operations on 2×2 matrices (in fact the matrix is the same on either side of + – x and / operators). Matrix mathematics can get hugely more complicated than in this primer tutorial, and should you want to study this further, and you are starting from scratch:
- stop scratching
- maybe start with a peruse of Wikipedia, and then take it from there to other research
- link about matrix inversion
Today we have HTML and Javascript programmable source code you could call mathml_tutorial.html and here is its live run.

I like the single-row radio-play approach for keeping the controls compact while still making each selection clear. When I’m checking a calculation alongside a tutorial, I use StepStat to see the intermediate steps; how do you handle the layout when the playlist gets much longer?
