No sh**! I published a Kindle eBook that covers all the calculus equations necessary to pass the Amateur Radio Extra Class exam. All the math equations were created in a MS Word document then saved as a PDF. I then painstakingly did a screen capture of each equation, saved it into an image file, and used an IMG tag within the HTML to place it into the eBook. I bet there is a better way to do it, but that was what I came up with in 2008 when I created the book. Also, Kindle books have a tendency to require specific image sizes otherwise your images can get doubled resulting in pixelizations. I cannot remember the sizes to avoid but it is a pain to have to remember to do that. I wound up having to buffer the right edges of many images with white space to keep them from being doubled in size.
