jsMath Test Page
You can use this page to verify that jsMath is working properly, so that you will be able to read all articles on the SIAM News website complete with any equations or symbols they may contain. For more information about jsMath, see this page.
Please note: depending on which fonts are installed on your computer, the jsMath code as it is rendered may look slightly different from the comparison images provided below. This is not a problem. As long as the proper symbols are displayed--regardless of the font they are displayed in--jsMath is working properly.
First, let's check a line of symbols. Here is a string of random Greek letters/symbols frequently used in SIAM News articles:
\alpha \, \beta \, \delta \, \gamma \, \mu \, \pi \, \theta \, \Sigma
If jsMath is working correctly, the line of symbols displayed above this sentence should be the same as those in the following image:

Next, let's verify that jsMath can properly render a function definition:
f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \overline{\overline{x^3} + sin(x)} & \mbox{for} & |x| < 4 \\ 0 & \mbox{for} & 4\leq|x|\leq7 \\ \cos\overline{x} & \mbox{for} & |x|>7 \end{array}\right.
The function rendered above should appear similar to the image below (remember, don't worry if the fonts don't match exactly!):

If both the string of symbols and the function defined above displayed properly, congratulations--jsMath is working correctly and will function properly using your current browser. Please note that if you change computers or switch to a different Internet browser, you may want to visit this page again to make sure that jsMath will work properly on your new computer/browser.
If the expressions above did not display properly, visit this page to find out more about jsMath, which operating systems/web browsers support it, and how to configure it to work properly on your computer.
