# How to add formulas or use mathematical notation

OpenReview supports TeX and LaTeX notation in many places throughout the site, including forum comments and reviews, paper abstracts, and venue homepages. To indicate that some piece of text should be rendered as TeX, use the delimiters `$...$` for inline math or `$$...$$` for displayed math. For example, this raw text:

```
This is what the Pythagorean theorem $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$ looks like.

Here is an example of multiple integrals:

$$
\iiiint_V \mu(t,u,v,w) \\,dt\\,du\\,dv\\,dw
$$
```

will be displayed as:

For more information on LaTeX notation we recommend [Overleaf's Guide](https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Mathematical_expressions). For more information about OpenReview TeX support, go [here](/reference/openreview-tex.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openreview.net/how-to-guides/submissions-comments-reviews-and-decisions/how-to-add-formulas-or-use-mathematical-notation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
