\subsubsection{Mathematics}
%% Inline mathematics is tagged between $ symbols.
This is an example for the symbol $\alpha$ tagged as inline mathematics.
%% Displayed equations can be tagged using various environments.
%% Single line equations can be tagged using the equation environment.
\begin{equation}
f(x) = (x+a)(x+b)
\end{equation}
%% Unnumbered equations are tagged using starred versions of the environment.
%% amsmath package needs to be loaded for the starred version of equation environment.
\begin{equation*}
f(x) = (x+a)(x+b)
\end{equation*}
%% align or eqnarray environments can be used for multi line equations.
%% & is used to mark alignment points in equations.
%% \\ is used to end a row in a multiline equation.
\begin{align}
f(x) &= (x+a)(x+b) \\
&= x^2 + (a+b)x + ab
\end{align}
\begin{eqnarray}
f(x) &=& (x+a)(x+b) \nonumber\\ %% If equation numbering is not needed for a row use \nonumber.
&=& x^2 + (a+b)x + ab
\end{eqnarray}
%% Unnumbered versions of align and eqnarray
\begin{align*}
f(x) &= (x+a)(x+b) \\
&= x^2 + (a+b)x + ab
\end{align*}
\begin{eqnarray*}
f(x)&=& (x+a)(x+b) \\
&=& x^2 + (a+b)x + ab
\end{eqnarray*}
