I think this would be very helpful to facilitate the writing of mathematical equations, which seem to be posted quite often.

This is an example thread from a forum that has integrated LaTeX:
http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=239408

All you'd need to do is install LaTeX, GhostScript, and ImageMagick in the server and then use LatexRender for the forum (haven't asked, but I'm pretty sure physics forums uses this exact configuration).

LaTeX: http://www.latex-project.org/
LatexRender: http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/tex.htm
ImageMagick (LatexRender requirement): http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Ghostscript (ImageMagick requirement): http://www.ghostscript.com/
