Since I never used math with ConTeXt, I tried to replicate XKCD 2034 as an exercise (see below and attached). I’d like to put it on the wiki and in my book. I know this is nonsense, but I’d like to do it right. In some cases I’m unsure which symbol the author meant, e.g. p or \rho, 0 or O, 1 or I or | ... Yes, I could have used proper Unicode characters (ρ, π etc.). Can you answer my questions (%? in the source)? (Partly TeX related, partly math/physics related.)

Thank you, Aditya & Wolfgang! (Aditya posted first, but Wolfgang’s message arrived earlier – geography seems to matter ;) So I could fix most of my issues, just the “gauge theory” and “truly deep physics” examples I can’t complete, and the website unfortunately doesn’t contain the (LaTeX) code of those. - How can I put a hat accent on \left( and \right) ? – f̵ and u̧ use combining accents; the characters show correctly in my editor, but not in the resulting PDF.
