The TeX2png plugin allows to display mathematical formulae in a Wiki page.
Usage
<<TeX2png text="$$(a+b)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}a^k b^{n-k}$$">>
gives

Arguments
There is only one argument which is the text of the mathematical expression. This text must be enclosed by a dollar $ within a paragraph or two dollars $$ on a separate line. In the last case, all is centered.
To write mathematical formulae, the syntax is the one of LaTeX.
Caveats
This plugin is only to produce readable mathematical formulae. Any
other text is not allowed : so if an expression is not enclosed by
dollars then it will be displayed by a red text. It is all the same
possible to display raw text as

<<TeX2png text="$\textrm{\LaTeX}$">>
This* plugin is not able to produce sophisticated mathematicals texts with links, cross references... For that, you can use for example LaTeX2html.
