For pretty math formulas

the only way to make your mathematical formulas look good is to use LaTex. You can do this if you wish but its not necessary. To put a mathematical formula written in LaTex into your wiki, you can use google charts api. You create an image link tag and then fill link it to a call the the charts api. For example:

...
![formula]
... rest of your page
...
[formula]: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=LaTex_Formatted_Expression

For example:

...
![formula]
... rest of your page
...
[formula]: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=3n%2B4

this would produce following in your wiki page where you have ![formula]
