this is mathematics

before we begin...

this is a test of inline LaTeX: \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \)

and here is a displayed equation:

\[ \frac{d}{dx} \left( \int_{0}^{x} f(t)\,dt \right) = f(x) \]

okay, we're good to go. if you're wondering how i did this, i copied and pasted the following text in the head:

and then wrote latex as normal in the body
