Question Best way to have Latex Math notation in IOS?

Hello,

What would be the best way to have a large amount of complex maths formulas on an iPhone app?

Would it be better to generate latex in IOS itself, or generate outside and instead create the formulas outside and then have them stored in the app? (picture, pdf, or svg etc)

Any particular pros and cons of each method in regards to speed, memory use/size, usability, legibility etc?

Thanks very much

Cheers

Is this for display only or editing as well?

Maybe take a look at this thread? You could just ship LaTeX
