0.4 - Canvas' Equation Editor

On Canvas discussion boards and essay quiz questions you have the option to "Insert Math Equation"

Screenshot from Canvas of the toolbar that is presented when posting to a discussion board. There is a circle around the "square root of x" symbol that is used to insert a math equation. An arrow is pointing at this button.

When you click on this button you have the option of switching between "Basic" and "Advanced" views. Most of what you will need to do in STAT 200 can be accomplished under the basic view, with the exception of $\widehat{p}$. The video below will walk you through a few examples.
