1) What is MathML?
MathL stands for Mathematical Markup Language. It is extended form of XML. It is used to describe mathematical and scientific notations.
2) Who is the developer of MathML?
World Wide Web Consortium is the developer of MathML.
3) What is the latest version of MathML?
The latest version of MathML is 3.0.
4) Why MathML is important in comparison to HTML?
MathML provides different tag to represent mathematic and scientific expression but HTML doesn't provide tag.
5) What is the way to represent a mathematical notation?
There is two ways to represent a mathematical notation:
- Presentational way: It uses markup tags like- mrow, mi, mo etc
- Semantic Way: It uses mark up tags like apply, eq, power etc.
6) What are the MathML elements?
MathML elements are:
<maction>
<math>
<menclose>
<merror>
<mfenced> etc.
7) Which tag is used to draw matrices?
<mtable> tag is used to draw matrices.
Syntax:
<mtable> <mtr> <mtd></mtd></mtr></mfrac>
8) How can we create an expression a+b=5 in MathML?
In MathML, we can create an expression a+b=5 by using following steps:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
<mrow>
<mi>a</mi>
<mo>+</mo>
<mi>b</mi>
</mrow>
<mo>=</mo>
<mn>5</mn>
</mrow>
</math>
9) What is the use of <mscarries> tag?
<miscarries> tag is used to create carries, borrows and crossouts.
Syntax:
<mscarries> expression <mscarry> <none/> </mscarry> </mscarries>
10) How can we write an underscript program?
We can write an underscript program by using following command:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
<munderover>
<mo> ?</mo>
<mn> 0 </mn>
<mi> 8</mi>
</munderover>
</mrow>
</math>
11) What are the MathML algebra symbols?
The following MathML algebra symbols are:

13) How can we create the area of circle symbol in MathML?
In MathML We can create the area of circle symbols by using given code:
<math>
<mi>p</mi>
<mo>?</mo>
<msup>
<mi>r</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
</math>.
