Hi!
Hans just uploaded a new version. I am not writing about the news in that version (although there are some fun things!), but rather to announce that the math manual is finally included.
We have been working on and off since 2021 on math and therefore also on this document, and we finally believe that both math and the document are now in a state that should be sufficiently useful and not too confusing. You can find a screen and a paper version:
./tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/mathincontext-screen.pdf ./tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/mathincontext-paper.pdf
The versions are generated from the same tex files, so the content (except for some chapter pages only available in the screen version) should be the same.
We hope that this will be useful for all of you who use math in your documents. If you have any questions, find any errors, or miss something, please let us know. We consider the document not to be finished, so there will be updates. Also, we will also at some point include the tex files, but that will have to wait a bit.
/Hans and Mikael
Excellent! Thanks for the great effort.

Thank you for the excellent and well written manual! Now there is no excuse for mathematicians not to use ConTeXt :-)

Hi Hans and Mikael,
I just could update to the latest ConTeXt (after afew hassles with xattr on MacOS…), and went straight to find mathincontext-screen.pdf. Thank you so much for this superbe manual! It is really wonderful in all aspects!
As Aditya says, there is no excuse for mathematicians not to use ConTeXt (apart the usual laziness in many of my colleagues…).

Hi Hans and Mikael,
The manual is great. Solves most of my challenges. Very handy as I am also writing a math thesis in it. Off topic but does anyone have a source for a RECENT math presentation they wrote using ConTeXt they can share? Would be very helpful.
Thanks for your hard work.

Dear Hans and Mikael,
I appreciate for all the efforts to make a nicer math output and for the math manual. I hope that a few problems in math are gone away in this new version.
The math writing in ConTeXt was getting better and better to this point. I’ll learn many things from this manual.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

Hi, Thank you for this document which will help many people, including me. Quick question : this document seems to have been written in the Pagella font : is this correct ? Why this choice : Personal ? The most complete and nice font ? Fabrice

Indeed.
Cambria is the reference of course but Pagella is free and we like it. We could have gone Lucida but it's not free either (but rather cheap and we fixed some in the process). Euler is also nice. We also had Bonum for a while (a bit bolder). Of course most fonts share alphabets. The Xits font is quite complete but kind of standard boring. We definitely will never for a can-of-worms sans for a document like this.
That said: all fonts needed tweaks, some more than others, because there is the inconsistent curious mix of font parameters, traditional and opentype properties etc to deal with, much of which we published about in e.g. TB in the process (as well as in documents in the distribuition). There ars also math companion fonts in the distribition that fix consistency issues in fonts (we consider most to be frozen).
Concerning complete: many unicode math characters are dubious and we wonder what they're used for, if at all while some other handy math symbols are missing.

I think if you update to the latest using sh install.sh once you are in your ConTeXt directory, you should find it there where Mikael says it is.

You need at least version 2024.06.14 to get the manuals, if they are missing on your system the installed context version is tool old.
Another way to get the manuals is from the Pragma website:
- https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mathincontext-paper.pdf - https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mathincontext-screen.pdf
