Math content
zyBooks authors math content in the commonly accepted LaTeX format and uses the MathJax library to render math equations and make the content available to assistive technology such as screen readers. Our internal testing has shown that the ChromeVox add-on with the Google Chrome browser is the best option for math content users.
