pythonlearner's question is problematic however. Questions about Gmail often get migrated automatically to Web Applications Q&A, however software recommendations questions are off topic at Web Applications Q&A, so the correct migration website for this question is Software Recommendations Q&A.

@Rahul-14BCE0064 Would other person (receipient of my mail) be able to see this mahematical thing corectly if his browser is not installed with LateX plugins ?

@pythonlearner Your formula will be converted to a <img> tag, whose src points to a google service, so the image will not be a part of the email, but instead it is rendered and fetched when the mail will be read.

You should add that detail into the answer, Rahul.

The Greasemonkey userscript no longer works for Gmail. This answer is now completely useless.
