Equations not rendering

[willwray]

The LaTeX equations in README.md do not render. They display as the raw markdown like this:
$$ab = \frac{1}{2}(ab + ba) + \frac{1}{2}(ab - ba)$$

GitHub markup doesn't support LaTeX equation rendering yet:
github markup issues #274 Rendering math equations?

This issue can't be resolved by a change to the code in this project, so I'm going to close this issue.

github markup issues #897 Rendering math equations?

It sounds like LaTeX equation rendering is in the pipeline but I can't find a roadmap or updates.

One possiblility is to write the content in a Jupyter notebook, as a series of markdown cells and then post the whole notebook-with-markdown-equations.ipynb file; see Jupyter/IPython notebook (.ipynb) files will render directly on GitHub

I've been using this Chrome extension that compiles MathJax on Github. I plan to convert this this LaTeX soon and include the pdf in this repo.
