Produced by Union College Professor, Davide P. Cervone in 2004,{{Cite journal |last=Cervone |first=Davide |date=February 2012 |title=Math Jax: A Platform for Mathematics on the Web |url=https://www.ams.org/notices/201202/rtx120200312p.pdf |journal=Notices of the American Mathematical Society |volume=59 |issue=2 |pages=312-316}} jsMath was built as a cross-platform solution to add mathematical equations in standard TeX notation to HTML pages.{{Cite web |title=jsMath (Authors): Overview of jsMath |url=https://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/authors/overview.html |access-date=2025-03-14 |website=www.math.union.edu}} As an alternative to MathML, jsMath was built to support different browsers on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh OS X, and Linux.{{Cite web |title=jsMath: jsMath Home Page |url=https://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/ |access-date=2025-03-14 |website=www.math.union.edu}}
