The MathML comes in HTML5. The current MathML version is 3. It was introduced in the year 2015. MathML stands for Mathematics Markup Language. It is used to represent mathematical equations or expressions in web browsers, like other HTML elements. MathML is used to describe mathematics as a basis for machine-to-machine communication. It is intended to be handled by specialized authoring tools such as equation editors, and it is meaningful to other applications as well.

Example:

html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>HTML5 MathML</title>
</head>

<body style="text-align:center;">

    <h1 style="color:green">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1>
